I think the question was stored procedures vs other methods (e.g. webservices).

You question was directed at Buck, but here's my opionion FWIW.

In .Net, PHP, Ruby, etc. it's almost always a good idea to call business logic as stored procedures where the logic is tied to a specific database whether IBMi, SQL Server or Oracle.

This practice is quite common with Oracle, SQL Server, so it also makes sense to use same context with IBMi to call business logic.

I don't think management probably needs much convincing to use sprocs.

Leave the business logic where it's at and call as needed from wherever.
