Hi there,

I was intrigued by an article on IT Jungle about Island Pacific using
SmartClient (AJAX). They are using SmartClient (AJAX) for the GUI via
a browser.

Is anyone using SmartClient/Ajax on the AS400 and prepared to give an
overview of how it hangs together?

Thanks,
Neil

AJAX is a client-side technology based on javascript, that makes
standard http calls (GET or POST) to the back-end http server. So
there's no reason that prevents it to interact with an as400 http-server
too.

Look into easy400.net
You can get your web apps via RPGLE programs....

AJAX is simply grabbing results from these programs instead of
displaying a web page.

Google AJAX. the javascript is usually the same, you just change the
program being called. Most sites will show PHP sulutions, but I
adapted a few to call on my RPG programs without any issues.
