Re: IBM i modernization with AJAX and SOA

[Henrik Rützou <hr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Sorry, I have been moving my server from my home to a hosting facility
because
it has to host a cloud based payrole system build on powerEXT and I
forgotten to
change the IP address to the demosystem on my homepage - it should work
now.

I have been looking on SmartClient and it seems to me to be working
basically
very much like Sencha Desktop/Touch.

However, SmartClient seems to have XML as only choise in dataformat where
Sencha has JSON as primarly choise and XML as a possibility. This may not
be so important in desktop apps, but do create an overhead in both transfer
and
processing that may effect mobile devices heavely - and as we are discussing

reuseable SOA services, XML may not be the smartest choise.

Both SmartClient, Sencha, jQuery and others all look nice and easy, but it
is
programmed in OOjavascript and specially for RPGLE programmers without
any OO knowledge the learningcuve may bee steep.
