The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Not really. CGIDEV2 actually is quite robust, as it has to re-invent

built in.
I understand that CGIDEV2 does some things that the servlet wouldn't need to
do, but if I understand correctly the workload management and other services
provided by the servlet are beyond the scope of CGIDEV2; Launching an instance
of the RPG program for each user requesting the program, handling the
communication between each browser and each RPG program instance, ending RPG
program instances, automatically loading XML definitions for each application,
dynamically generating one or more beans for each JSP, automatically mapping
fields from RPG program data structures to beans, automatically mapping fields
from JSP-HTML forms to RPG program data structures, dynamically evoking the
right JSP for every output operation for every application, handling and
reporting errors, updating the file information data structure, and so forth.
I think I agree with your original premise, though. Given all the plumbing in
your framework, the code that the developer has to create/maintain doesn't seem
to be hard.
