However, IceBreak became first a commercial product for system i in 2006'.
But it started back in 1994 in Denmark as a communication middleware product
at PBS - VISA/DANKORT for card clearing (and is still in full production) So no; IceBreak is not written in RPG. It is written in C / and C++ but
running 100% in the ILE environment - serving ILE. So to say; the "distance"
from your application to the client is as small as possible. This really
reduces the complexity and reduces overhead for RPG/COBOL programmers
compared to run these languages within PHP, EGL and even as web-services in
WebSphere.

So what you say is that you have ported a C/C++ web server to ILE and that it allows to call ILE programs easily. Ok, that makes sense.

What loads does it support and may it be necessary, like recommended for slow sessions, to put a proxy Apache in front to get the expensive request finished to serve a new request?

In other words, I'd like some performance numbers :)
