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.
