There were some exciting new developments in the world of WebSphere during 2002 with the advent of new Eclipse-based development tools. On the iSeries we saw an awesome new version of the WebFacing product as well as wizard- based support for PCML to integrate legacy applications (RPG or COBOL) with new Java Applications. But IBM isn't stopping there. Expect to see even more amazing features in 2003, as well as less expensive, less complicated Web development tools. >> CLICK here to view the complete tip: http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci872332,00.html =============================================================== Answers to Other Technical Questions =============================================================== IBM targets smaller shops with a new line of WebSphere products IBM has recognized that small and medium size businesses need low- cost, easier-to-use products that can be leveraged by the thousands of companies that can't afford or don't have the technical expertise on staff to take advantage of its high-end WebSphere products. As a result, these smaller shops can look forward to the new "Express" line of WebSphere products. They are designed to be quickly and easily installed, and they provide an immediate return on investment. http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci868180,00.html Get started building Java Web apps in WDSC IBM's WebSphere Development Studio Client (WDSC) for iSeries is a powerful, easy-to-use tool for building every type of Web application you can think of. Web development expert Jim Mason offers a step-by-step guide that shows you how to quickly build simple Java Web applications that access iSeries data and call RPG programs with a browser interface. http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci846056,00.html WebFacing extends the reach of your legacy code If you are a typical iSeries shop, you probably have thousands of existing 5250 applications developed over many years. 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. http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci848193,00.html Working with the WebFacing server "Marier" wanted to know how the WebFacing server works, how does the data gets from the 5250 application, and in what format should it be in. He also wondered how Java Beans work on the WebFacing architecture. He started a discussion thread in the Search400.com WebSphere and Web Development Forum. Read the responses to his post. http://search400.discussions.techtarget.com/WebX?[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.ee84637/580 ___________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT FEATURES AND LINKS: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- WEBCAST PREMIERE | DB2 UDB for iSeries -- V5R2 enhancements Guest speaker: Doug Mack, DB2 UDB for iSeries Product Marketing, IBM Log on to get updates on DB2 UDB for iSeries, including enhancements in V5R2, and how those enhancements relate to an overall strategy.
