I've used Net.Data and CGI. I prefer CGI over Net.Data because
I like to write in RPGIV rather than the Net.Data macros. I am in
the process of learning WebSphere and servlets. What's slowing
me down is I have to learn Java first. I like the admin feature of
WebShere and I like how I can load a servlet and watch it's
activity.

As far as a definition of WebSphere, I think of it as a bridge
between the HTTP server and a JVM (i.e middleware). The HTTP
server handles all non-Java requests and then hands the Java
requests off to WebSphere to handle.
