From: Joe Pluta
As I get more involved with the Rich UI architecture of EGL, it becomes
increasingly clear that trying to extend the 5250 paradigm is not going
to work in the rich world.

You seem to be making two points with one statement. First, that attempting to turn a 5250 application into a rich one won't work. Second, that a "rich world" is on our doorsteps.

Both points are valid. But I'm still interested in some continuity, and a gradual transition from 5250 to rich. And a rich UI is not needed for all applications. Sometimes a simple prompt precedes a data area update, or batch job submission, for example.

The thing that would be nice, would be to deploy both rich and 5250 under a single portal, to support both interfaces during the transition. One sign-on. Both environments. A means of toggling between either. A means of communicating between both.

Nathan.
