As long as vendors are playing, you might also consider looksoftware. We do
expect some functionality on the i, but in addition to green screens, we can
also access procedures, programs, and databases from our smartclient and
build new forms from scratch. Delivery options include smart or rich
clients, thin clients, mobile clients, and service delivery. We are not a
coding solution, however, so if you want to code, save your time and go with
a coding solution. Like most vendors, we also offer free trials.

Hello Dave,
I normally do not respond, being that I represent a Vendor, but you asked
for "Thoughts on how to knock this out fairly quickly from
nothing-set-up-on-the-system to production web app(s)?" Allow me to provide
a suggestion. BCD offers WebSmart PHP as the only rapid application
development tool generating non propriety, open source, PHP code in the
System i marketplace. RPG developers can very quickly and successfully
create web programs, accessing System i and non System i data. WebSmart PHP
makes it easy to call existing System i externalized programs and pass parms
back and forth and many other robust features, like CSS. Another product
that will allow you to get up and running very quickly is BCD's Nexus
Portal. This free web portal is hosted on your System i web server. It
provides security administration, content control and web menuing as just a
few of the built in features. If you are interested, please let me know, we
offer free trials and web demos.
But, it now appears like the choices, for me, for now, are Net.Data and PHP.
Again, for now, my needs are fairly simple... picture the old Green Screen
menus that allow you to move from main menu to subordinate with selections
per topic area on each. That's what I need for now as a Web app with those
selections calling REXX, perhaps some CL/RPG and DB2 Query Manager queries,
Commands like WRKSPLF where the spool files don't belong to the user logged
on but are accesses, under the covers, by generic userid with the privlidges
with the spoolfile displayed on the Web (perhaps the hardest to do).... this
sort of thing. No fancy stuff... yes using CSS would be nice but not
necessary. Thoughts on how to knock this out fairly quickly from
nothing-set-up-on-the-system to production web app(s)?
