Re: getting data from the iSeries to a web page

Bradley,

the problem with clean YAJL is preprocessing of parameters and input in
JSON - that isn't exactly an easy
task.

Why not "spit out" JSON using YAJL then to standard output and let the web
programmers process/format it.

But walk before you can run. :)

Yes. Actually, I had your book and it helped me. Thank you. It
disappeared in one upheaval or another.

The issue, for me, is that I want to approach the data from the web
developer's side. Use a web developer's tool set, not an IBM

programmer's

tool set. I am suspicious that what I want is a way to provide the data

as

a web service? Not sure of the terminology ... I believe I want to
"consume a web service"? At this point I am over my head so I suspect

my

terminology is bad.

In other words, I want to be able to say to an RPG programmer "You

provide

the data this way:" and to the web dudes & dudettes "Here is the data you
requested, ready to use:"

Are you asking how to write an RPG program that reads from a DB and

out the information on the web page?

If so, I wrote a few books about that a few years ago... eRPG was the
title. :)

Now I'd prefer to use CGIDEV2 or eRPG SDK. But the basis is still the
same.

Your subfile program that exists now is easily converted into a CGI
program
to spit that data out to a web page. I have tons of examples at:
http://erpgsdk.bvstools.com/demo/

Also, www.fieldexit.com has a ton of examples too. They do all sorts

of

things from reading from a DB, to using web services to get information.

CGIDEV2 I'm sure has a lot of examples as well.
