In March we told you about what was coming with this new webfacing facility on the AS/400. Now, in June we can now show you the actual product that will be delivered with V5R1. We plan on taking an AS/400 RPG/DDS application and showing you step by step, using the actual product, how to convert your existing DDS source into JSPs and Java Beans. Claus will actually perform the steps live before your eyes. See how its done, ask questions while it is happening, see from start to finish what is required to convert an application.
You will also learn how WebFacing will provide a server environment that allows your existing iSeries/400 programs (RPG and others) to communicate with these converted browser enabled screens. This will all be shown via a live demo.
