d) Providing an RPG-based solution *that could be extended and improved by
the community* without waiting for IBM



Can you give me one example where “the community” severely and in
collaboration has expanded and improved an existing Open Source project on
IBM I?

XMLSERVICE is primarily constructed to cover some needs in PHP and
even though it comes with a CGI interface it lack as far as I know
completely session management and control so there will be
considerable security issues if one should use it in a web environment.

While it undoubtedly is useful in a PHP environment it was mostly aimed
at:

a) Getting round the limitations of the jt400 interface (which were what
caused issues for PHP) - mostly the restrictions on function return values
and limits on types of parameters that could be passed.

b) Providing an interface to data that could be used from any platform
that supported SQL-type interfaces.

c) Providing a CGI-rest-style interface for situations where b was not
applicable.

d) Providing an RPG-based solution that could be extended and improved by
the community without waiting for IBM

By doing these things it also enabled toolkit access from any PHP
platform and provided a simple foundation for similar tooling to be added
to any other language. The new PHP toolkit itself is open-source and so can
also be extended by anyone.
