Re: calling rpg3 programs from tomcat on another box?

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Piece of cake, James.

The Java Toolbox (JTOpen) will allow a Java program on any machine
(including a servlet under Tomcat) to call a program on the iSeries.  The
machine has to be at V4R4 or above, I believe, but that's pretty much the
only issue.

You'll need to give the Tomcat program a user ID and password for the
iSeries; I suggest locking that profile down very tightly.
