iSeries Web development tools

iSeries Web development tools help you create e-business applications that use a Web-based front end to interact with a program or a procedure on an iSeries server, or with Java bean methods.

You can create your own Web input and output pages, or let the Web Interaction wizard generate the pages for you. In either case, you can insert specific fields and controls (referred to as iSeries Web components), on your pages to enhance their input and output functionality.

The Web Interaction wizard also helps you perform the following tasks:

You can test your application without deploying the JSP files and iSeries run-time classes to a WebSphere Application Server. You use the iSeries Web Tools Run-time Configuration wizard to specify the authentication and the run-time configuration values that are required to run the application in the WebSphere test environment on the client, or on the WebSphere Application Server on your iSeries server.
