RE: [WEB400] Beyond RPG CGI

["Eyers, Daniel" <daniel.eyers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's sort of where we are... Having achieved a "critical mass" of knowledge 
with our developers (who have struggled
heroically with RPG v. Java), we are having trouble keeping up with the demand 
we created.

One of our next steps is getting the box tuned a little better for web 
applications.  It tends to drag with use.  We may
have gotten to the point where JDBC starts to lose it's appeal (in favor of 
native 400 connections).  However, we are
not yet using connection pooling, so maybe that will help....

Amen....  I know I have been trying to sell these capabilities to our
managers, and they finally gave me the freedom to write a large intranet
web application... And they loved it...  It's fast, and it handles indexing
through several million records in sub second response times... And not only
that, I have been given more web projects...  They actually prefer it on the
as/400, because they know the as/400 has such a nice database, plus it's
reliable.....  I just had to show them what it could do..
