According to Search400.com expert Jim Mason, WebFacing doesn't handle user interface screens in the current release. That means commands such as WRKSPLF won't work in a WebFacing application.

Is it really the best option? Not necessarily. The Value Manager found other servers may be better worth your while. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci914824,00.html?track=NL-182 PRODUCE MORE FLEXIBLE WEB APPS USING STRUTS If you're building Web applications -- or looking to -- you should know about the Apache Struts framework. Many companies, including IBM, are standardizing Web applications around the Struts framework to lower development costs and produce more flexible Web applications. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci883662,00.html?track=NL-182 WEBFACING CONFIGURATION ISSUES "PgmrBob" would like to try WebFacing, but he's running into initial configuration problems. He has WAS 3.5 installed and running for other applications, and WASD 5.1 with WebFacing 5.1 installed with some DDS converted. When he runs the index page it serves it from his PC instead of from the server that he sees in examples. Web development expert Jim Mason was on hand in the WebSphere and Web development Forum to help him out. http://search400.discussions.techtarget.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.ee84637/375 ________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT FEATURES AND LINKS: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= USER SURVEY | What are your spending plans for 2004?
