You can use UniObjects but remember that UniObjects represents a single stateful login session (like a terminal) and web servers both stateless and scalable.
Which means that: A) you cannot persist state at the server. So anything like common blocks and record locking probably go out the window. B) you need sufficient connections/licences available to handle the anticipated load. C) you need to be aware of the licencing implications. You must still own sufficient database licences for the number of concurrent users of your applications, even if they are going through a multiplexing layer such as a web server. To use this correctly you need to either: A) connect, do your processing and disconnect within a single page. B) create a thread safe connection pool and route through that. Remember that subsequent requests may route to different connections. C) Look at RedBack, which is specifically designed for web access. D) Wait for the new connection pooling recently announced by IBM.
