RE: RPG to Java conversion

One of my clients has a team of about 15 programmers from Accenture led by a
guy who thinks he's God's gift to the programming profession (Dr. Franken
may know him).

They have been trying to get a scenario similar to yours to work on one of
the development partitions for about 6 months now. When they fire up the
application for pressure testing, the machine runs a consistent 500 to 800%
of CPU, and the lights in the data center start to flicker.

The RPG code screams in comparison.

Just my 2 cents.

Subject: RPG to Java conversion

Its been a while I looked into it.. is there any cool new tool to convert
RPG III code into java? If not what are the best practices to convert a
RPG III program into Java? Meaning should we use anything like Entity
Framework? Idea is to convert RPG logic into Java using MYSQL database but
make sure java performs just like RPG does on as/400 :)

Please note that RPG is only reading from files and updating/insert data
into files. There is no concerns related to O/S level dependencies etc.

Is it better to code it in SQL procedure or java can perform better?
