RE: Run a program on iSeries from the web

["Hart, Doug" <Doug.Hart@xxxxxxx>]

IBM's net.data does run on other platforms but it's not supported as well as on 
the iSeries.
I have only used it on iSeries so in your case it would be running behind your 
firewall.
Net.data only needs the Apachee HTTP (or older IBM HTTP) server running, not 
Tomcat or WebSphere.
 
You can play with some net.data samples on my site.

Note: this is not MS .net.

        Can you provide more detail on how you use net.data?  Where does 
net.data run?  In the inside the dmz iseries?  I have very little control over 
what can run on the tomcat server outside the dmz.
        
        I'm open to net.data, maybe, if i knew more about it.

            I do this all the time with net.data and it's free.
            No Java just stright calls to commands, CLP, or RPG.

                What, in everyone's opinion, are some of the ootiins available 
to have a web app (browser) run a command on iSeries.
               
                The Tomcat server that front ends the web app uses java 
servlets and is on a PC outside the dmz. (i think).
               
                The iseries has no idea it exists. However, the iseries can 
ping the outside world so communication is possible.
               
                Would I do best by running Tomcat on my iSeries and have the 
Tomcat server on the windows pc outside the dmz send a servlet request to my 
iseries?  Or is there a better way?
               
                All opinions are most welcome.
               
                Thanks
