Re: Displaying JSON data on iSeries Apache web server

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Turns out that was the answer.  Thank you Kevin.  User QTMHHTTP had to 
be given permission to the JSON file.   Then all worked as desired, with 
both Firefox and IE11.

So, as it turns out, providing an organization's casual users with their 
reports and data needs in modern and attractive ways is surprisingly 
easy, even for old-timey RPGers like me.  I used Eclipse Neon and its 
editors to write the HTML, CSS, JavaScript files.  I used FileZilla to 
FTP the files to the iSeries.  I set up a simple HTTP server using the 
iSeries IP address plus :2001/HTTPAdmin.  I used port 7878 for the new 
Apache server. Then, with my browser I could reach xx.xxx.xxx.xx:7878 
and see the data

Anyone cares to see the code, please view Page Source on 
ventures.martinvt.com .  Building the .json file is pretty straight 
forward RPG coding.  My program is less than 100 lines, although it does 
have a line "/copy MARTIN/QDEV,IFSIO_H"  to include Scott Klement's 
1200+ line set of includes that makes dealing with the IFS manageable by 
programmers like me.  Anyone wants to see my RPGLESQL program to see how 
I did it, just let me know.  Happy to share.

There is more to be done of course, but for the moment I am reflecting 
upon how much easier it was to do than I expected.  I made way too much 
work of it.
