The first "strategy" was to cache the entire world. That was a really

EEEEeeeewww... I'm sorry! :-)
Yeah, my current project talks to DB2/AS400 and calls RPG as stored procs. It's been
pretty much smooth sailing (well, smooth sailing in a rowboat when you have to deal with
names like LQAPMST00...).
The last Java shop to touch it did everything through RIOs, which looks like it was a hell
of a lot more work. And I think we'll wind up being faster.
Ibatis really rocks at this.... it's been a life-saver.
