Re: What's YOUR Definition of Middleware??

[HankHeath@xxxxxxx]

My personal definition of middleware used to be: whatever doesn't work when
I'm running a client/server system.

With the advent of browser technology, I have to admit that I am far less
cynical than when I was wrestling with SNA and 5250 data streams. The only
thing that hasn't changed is the poor quality of the documentation when
things don't work.

When we or some of the AS/400 vendors talk about middleware,
what does this mean to each of you?  In talking to a few
people, this can take on some very different definitions.
