Our business runs off of our AS/400. We are looking at letting our 40,000 customers access their accounts over the Internet. Our small shop is all RPG III programmers right now. We started looking at a path to follow to get web-enabled. There seem to be a lot of choices. I do not want to pick some cheesy, screen-scraping, “turn-your-RPG-code-into-hot-web-pages” tool. I want a serious, long-term development environment that leverages our RPG foundation. I prefer not to learn too much Java, CGI and such, unless that is truly the best strategic choice for a company that wants to develop their own software for the Web. Should we even use the AS/400 as our web server, or use a PC platform with ODBC interface to our AS/400 database? I’dlike to hear what others who have been down this path have experienced.
