Dean, Robert skrev den 08-08-2008 00:52:
I think your best bets are PHP or Java.

On Java, I would suggest JSF (because of similarity to ASP.net -- particularly when using IBM's tool), Grails, or Project Zero/WebSphere sMash. (The last is a new product from IBM that promises rapid development for Java, but it doesn't run on IBM i....actually, come to think of it, it runs PHP, too).

On PHP, I would suggest going with the Zend Framework (free download from Zend.COM).
It sounds to me as Java+bells and whistles may be overkill if Dave just need some scripting of an existing solution.

I'd have a look on which scripting possibilities the existing solution has, and then consider how to invoke them.
