Re: getting data from the iSeries to a web page

Bradley,

ofcouse input may be in JSON - this is 2017 ;-)

I don't follow.

Do you expect the input to be JSON as well.. not at all.. with CGIDEV2 or
eRPG SDK, or even your own API wrappers reading in data from forms is
easy.

If input data IS in JSON, easy as well with YAJL.

Building dynamic SQL from the input and reading data and spitting out JSON
is also fairly straightforward if you're willing to learn.

Anyhoo, I'm out for the night. I have a meeting with some friends, tacos,
beer and our guitars.. it's blues night! Jam time! (or as we call, it,
therapy lol!)

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.
