Re: .Net Mobile Application connection to iSeries

[dkimmel@xxxxxxxxxxx]

David,

We've done a lot with .net applications, but not .net mobile.

It's easiest to do what you want to do by making your iSeries applications 
into web services. .net attaches to web services extremely easily, just 
like using an OCX or DLL, or Active-X from your .net application. There's 
new tooling in WDSC for making an RPG program into a webservice that works 
very quickly and very simply. But you've said you don't want a web 
application. 

There is a way to compile your .net application into java bytecode -- see 
grasshopper. Then you can imbed the jt400 toolkit  in your application. 
You're going to wind up with a very large JVM thay way, though, maybe too 
much for your mobile.
