I don't think that point has been settled. It would be fair to say the number of cases where server-side rendering is preferred is definitely shrinking. It's not dead, however.
For example, Twitter recently made headlines by taking some of its application back to server-side rendering, perhaps counter-intuitively, for reasons of scalability.

Vern,
HTML should not be generated from a server-side language. It should be generated at the client-side tier. The function of the server-side language in today's web world is to deliver JSON data.

Thanks for your reply. I did see something about the CGIDEV2 Apache setup. We actually have our own command for setting up our server instances, so we would not be using that.
I'm actually taking advantage of the external HTML that CGIDEV2 lets you have. Our product currently has all the HTML inside the main RPG pro ram
- very difficult to maintain or understand or change. This "new"
approach will make things much better in the future.
I got a nice list from Kevin Turner - I think that's about all I need for now. Will go to the easy400 forum for more as I need it.
Regards
Vern

Vern,
I have done just a few applications done with CGIDEV2, so I'm not very
sure what would be the minimum requirements to distribute an app . One
thing that comes to mind, though, it is that when you install CGIDEV2
it creates and modifies the Apache config files, so maybe that is
something you should be aware when installing your apps in different systems.
Giovanni Perotti, the founder of the www.easy400.net website,
maintains a very active (Yahoo!) group here:

Check it out. Giovanni is a very helpful guy and maybe you could get a
more complete answer to your needs.
