I would like some feedback on development tools, let me describe the environment first
Our existing CICS system uses what we call "dot delimited messages". These all arrive over point to point encrypted communications lines into what we call CORs (kinda sorta like TORs but without terminals). The COR code either does some routing or passes the messages to the AORs. The AORs process the message and send the result to the COR who then send it back to the original requester. The XML system runs under zVM as a Linux guest (software here is written in C) which we refer to as an XOR (XML owning region). Its job is to translate the inbound XML message back to "dot-delimited" format and push the message into the COR. The existing system runs as normal (message into the AOR and get the response etc). The COR then sends the response to the XOR who translates the "dot delimited" response back to XML and sends the response to the originating end user. The GUI software I am talking about developing is to control the Linux guest where we have configuration files written in XML that we want to change from the outside world while the guest software is running. We also log all messages in and out and want to write some GUI software to search these logs etc. The custom GUI software can then be used for those searches/configuration changes etc. Anyone have any thoughts as to good open source tools to do these types of user interfaces running under zLinux? I will be out of town until November 28th, but will certainly check out any replies when I get back.
