[WEB400] Just how tricky is webfacing?

But we have a developer who has spent way too much time trying to webface 
two or three simple programs.  He strikes me as reasonably intelligent. He 
has worked with stuff other than iSeries, (Pick, Domino, etc) so it's not 
like non 5250 scares him to death.  He has purchased several books dealing 
with html, java, etc.  He also seems to have a good work ethic.  But for 
as simple as the webfacing concept sounds, it sure is taking a long time.
Boss is about to dump webfacing and take another tack.  (Vendors beware: 
He has stated that if he has to purchase something he might as well 
purchase SSA's internet solution.  Especially since it is for a BPCS 
interface.)
