• Building an e-business application with RPG
  iSeries Web development tools give you the ability to create new e-business applications that use a Web-based front end to communicate with the business logic in an ILE or non-ILE language program residing on an iSeries server. In this tutorial, the user will learn to create the high-level design of your Web site and apply page templates using Web site designer. Then, you will create the individual pages with Page Designer, or generate input and output JSP files with the Web Interaction wizard. You will also add iSeries Web components to your pages, for example, Web equivalents of iSeries command keys, input fields that accept only particular types of data, or output fields such as subfile names.
