Super answer. I lean toward Java/WDSc but will consider PHP.

RPG won't be anywhere in the picture.

Thanks,

.Net will require two or more servers to do something that can be done
with one.
I won't say "better" to avoid discusion, but certanly one AS/400 alone
will be more reliable than windows + the AS/400, will be less expensive,
will be easier to administre, will be faster...

And, if you already know RPG, just use CGIDEV, you only need to learn a
few functions.

To me there are two obvious options for web application development,

can even call an RPG program if you'd like too. :) While I obviously
have a bent toward the MS land, I will admit both are perfectly capable
of doing anything you want and arguing which is "better" is a religious
argument at best.
