Maybe I got that acquisition wrong. There is RPGsp (RPG smart pages) which is by Profoundlogic (the RPG-Alive person).Then there's Rsp (RPG server pages) which is by the folks at ProData (the DBUpeople).Neither sight nor the BCDSoftware.com site mentions an acquisition. Perhaps theperson who mentioned this to me was mistaken.
(i am posting this reply for Eric Figura, who asked to respond to Bob's statements. I am not associated with BCD, only that I have a customer where I use their software, as well as RPG).
Bob,I don't know where you received the misinformation in your post about BCD / WebSmart purchasing RPG ServerPages or RPGSP. I am not aware of either of them being for sale, however, we have not purchased either company or product.
Regarding the part of your post about the vendor you have experience with, MRC, one specific difference is MRC generates Java while WebSmart generates either ILE RPG-CGI or Java.
FWIW: People when given the choice of developing in CGI or Java, based on our experience, 95% of those iSeries users have selected ILE RPG-CGI. This is based on our experience of 1,200 iSeries sites making that choice.
Why such a big lean towards CGI? Our experience: Numerous RPG based development shops find it easier to get their web applications to market, they're more comfortable with ILE RPG-CGI than they are with Java, they can preserve their existing iSeries back end system investment and they can keep their existing staff who know their business and systems involved in the development of their new web systems. I can go on, however, I'll stop here.
