We are using a JAVA program called Stingray SDK from Blue Lobster Software.
It has a TN3270 adapter Java class for connecting to the mainframe. The SDK
allows you to record all your MF sessions and interactions and then generate
pure JAVA code into a class which you can then call from applets, servlets,
JSP or beans. Very easy to work with even for a novice. The included
examples are very clear and made it easy for me to get started.
You can have the JAVA emulator display on the screen at runtime for
debugging but not necessary. I was not familiar with AWT so I opted for
forms and servlets using JRun. Very fast. Fill out a form and submit. On the
server, the connection is made, CICS starts and logs in, transaction is
started and parameters are filled in, the screen is returned (or several
pages), the screen data is parsed into Vector elements and then fed out to
html through the servlet. ALL in about 5 seconds! We are very happy with the
performance.
I would be happy to discuss this "off-line" if you would like more details.

We too are using servlets on the PC side only to show a friendly interface
to web users.
The request are passed to a C++ programme writing and reading CICS screens.
At the moment we are using EHLLAPI but I would like to pass to somethng
allowing me to communicate to CICS screen without opening them by an
emulator.
I mean something like HACL of IBM enetwork series.
What are you using??
