Web technology choices
XML Toolkit for iSeries (5733-XT1)
XML is widely touted as a solution to the problem of information exchange
between applications and within B2B environments. It is simple, extensible, and
non-proprietary. XML parser APIs assist in the creation, navigation, or
modification of XML document content.
Your goal Technology Features
Quickly Web-enable existing
interactive iSeries applications
IBM WebFacing Tool Converts a display file (DSPF) DDS to JSPs built
on struts
Build Web applications with
iSeries business logic
Web Tools for iSeries Wizards and Web components for building JSP
files that provide a user interface for iSeries
business logic; build on Struts
Build Web applications with
iSeries data
JavaServer Faces (JSF) Rich tagging choices for user interface; strategic
choice for data-driven applications that have little
business logic; emerging technology (a potential
follow-on to Struts)
Build Web applications with
iSeries data, moving more
user interface logic to the
client.
JSFs with client-side scripting Provides better response times by reducing trips to
the server; validation and formatting is done on the
client; uses JSF extensions
Build Web applications with
Java business logic
Struts and Struts tools Rich tagging choices for model-controller;
leverages JSPs for the user interface
Encapsulate your applications
from future technology
changes and enable them for
multiple platforms
EGL Fourth generation language (4GL); abstracts your
applications at a higher level and generated the
appropriate Java (standard edition) or iSeries
COBOL code (Advanced Edition only); leverages
JSF; learning time relatively short for COBOL or
RPG programmers
