Aaron,
I hope someone with more Net.Data expertise than I will jump in and answer your question about session and workload management.
You're right that RPG CGI offers a direct, simplified interface between browsers, applications, and databases.
Nathan.

Man, that was well written. You should send that to IBM and teach them how
to market native stuff! If it wasn't for the potential lack of support I
would actually consider check it out more. Makes you wonder if enough
people picked it up if IBM would reinvigorate the tool/language?
In the end what you have said also rings true on the RPG front. Because of
it's lack of dev environment complexity it doesn't need tons of additional
plugin software to run or deploy.
How does Net.Data handle sessions? Are there ****CGI jobs waiting to be
invoked in SBS QHTTPSVR? Do they have separate jobs from Apache? If an RPG
program is invoked for a request, is it still "activated" for subsequent
requests (like how RPG CGI works)? Sorry if this has already been brought
up.
