Developing iSeries Web applications

Developing iSeries Web applications can include these phases:
Creating a Web service
From the Web Service wizard, you can use the iSeries Program Web Service type to create a Web service from ILE RPG and COBOL programs. For other languages, you can use the Program Call wizard to create a Java bean and PCML file from an iSeries program or service program procedure, and then use the Web Services wizard to create a Web service from the Java bean or PCML file.
Creating a dynamic Web project
Web projects contain the Web resources that you create and maintain for Web applications. Web projects typically contain servlets, JSP files, Java objects, static documents (for example, HTML pages or images), and any associated metadata.
Designing Web application pages
The Web application pages are JSP files that you create or that are created for you by the iSeries Web Interaction wizard.
Creating Web interactions
The iSeries Web Interaction wizard adds Java code to your project and generates iSeries classes. This enables the communication between your Web pages and the host programs, procedures, or Java beans that contain the business logic of your application.

You can also use Web Site Designer to help you design your Web site as you proceed to design Web application pages and create Web interactions. See Creating a Web site for iSeries Web application development for more information about using Web Site Designer.
