Re: Access to HTTP Environment data

Web apps written in Java aren't typically calling using the CGI interface. 
They're called as JSP or Servlets instead.  Usually by linking Apache to a 
servlet container like WAS or Tomcat.

That means that you probably can't expect the CGI data to be there.

Even if you did invoke the Java program as a CGI instead of as a 
JSP/Servlet, you'd still have a problem if you invoke the RPG program as a 
stored procedure, since the stored procedure would run in a separate job 
(the database server job) and not in the CGI environment.  This problem 
could be solved by calling the RPG program as a native method -- plus that 
would be faster than invoking it as a stored procedure -- but you'd lose 
SOOOOOO much performnace by invoking the Java routine as a CGI that it 
would (IMHO) make the application unusable.

Java does not work well in a CGI environment.
