1) part of the reason we picked Icebreak was because is came with it's own
webserver. The configuration is as simple as putting in the port# the the name
of the server (i.e. PROD, DEVL). We look at the server as part of the
application, not as a separate piece.
2) Our main reason is that we have a team of RPG developers that could quickly
get up to speed. They were developing apps with in days. We didn't want to
introduce another language (PHP, Java, Javascript...) for them (and me) to
learn. Since we can also use CL I have written apps for admin functions like
working with OUTQs, MSGQs, Stopping/Starting WTRs, Displaying Spool files, and
emailing spools files as PDF. Other apps include graphs for performance
monitoring, password expiration warnings & forcing the password change,Security
apps for setting up new users & resetting passwords, and the list goes on.
3) I know there was talk of an open source version, but don't know what became
of it.

I haven't been following this conversation closely, so I have a couple of quick
questions if you don't mind backtracking:
Why would I want to use a proprietary web server on iSeries if Apache is already
there ?
What are the benefits of IceBreak ?
Is IceBreak commercial or open source ?
Thanks :-)

Henrik,
It is true that IceBreak is 100% developed and owned by System & Method. It is
also true that IceBreak is independent of any third party software. You won't
find a more native Web environment for IBM i than IceBreak - and of cause no
Microsoft technology is involved!
We are 7 developers on IceBreak and IceCap. Niels is the Chief Technology
Officer and he is primarily responsible for the product and the core of IceBreak
together with me.

Bent Ronne
