Those applications aren't going away anytime soon and represent the core business processes of your business. What if you could Web-enable those applications without modifying a single line of code? What if you could extend the reach of your system via a simple Web browser? That's exactly what IBM's iSeries tools developers have done for you with WebFacing. Web development guru Bob Cancilla shows you step by step just how easy it is to WebFace your apps. >> CLICK here to view the complete tip... http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci848193,00.html =================================================================== Answers to Other Technical Questions =================================================================== 1. WebFacing and Tomcat Does IBM's WebFacing tool require WebSphere or can it be used with Tomcat? Web development expert David Slater says tests don't reveal any problems, but there are a few limitations you should be aware of. http://search400.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid432363_tax285218,00.html 2. Web-enabling apps easier with new WSDC If you have not ventured into the world of Java and WebSphere, IBM has removed any and all reasons that may have prevented you from doing so. WebSphere Studio Development Client (WSDC), announced June 4, greatly eases and speeds up the process for Web-enabling applications. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci832263,00.html 3. Did we WebFace our application? This Search400.com member believes they have WebFaced an application, but it won't run. Web development expert Jim Mason takes a look at his situation and makes some recommendations. http://search400.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid483422_tax285218,00.html 4.
