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.
Nathan,
You got it.

why would you suggest PHP as "thin presentation layer"?
To qualify my answer, let me admit that I don't use PHP. And I don't use Net.Data much, either. I normally handle the entire request-response cycle with ILE service programs. So my answer is more from a concept-level rather than hands-on experience.
But what if I didn't have an ILE toolkit to map http request data to ILE program variables? Or to map program data to HTML response streams? I could use something like Net.Data or PHP for that.
I'd consider an architecture where the scripting environment (whether PHP or Net.Data) did little more than receive requests, map input data to formats that could be passed to ILE servers via data queues, receive response data in return, and map it to HTML output streams. Other developers might use a call-level interface.
So your DB I/O and business logic is handled by the native language environment. Or, in Dave Odom's case, perhaps handled by the REXX language environment, or the SQL language environment.
Nathan.
