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.

Not sure what removing OS/400 from the mix has to do with making a servlet do more ?
In my world I write business layers using code. In some cases that's RPG. In some cases Java and in other cases VB.Net.
Never put that kind of logic directly into the web page no matter what platform. Yuk !! :-)

Once a company goes with Java, PHP, etc... RPG is really no longer
needed and neither is OS/400 ...
Are you sure? In my office, we were just the issue of deleting courses from our course catalog. What if child records exist? Course Prerequisites? Course Objectives? What if a class has already been scheduled that taught that "course"?
Do you want to move all that investigation and decision making down to the servlet?
In our scalability discussion, Java experts were just suggesting that developers might need to serialize methods that implement business rules like that. The application server won't do it for you. Are you sure you want to move that type of processing to the servlet?
