Book description
The IBM WebFacing Tool, part of IBM WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries, is one of the most important tools for IBM eServer iSeries developers. It facilitates quick conversion of existing host applications into Web applications.
WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries comes in two editions, Standard and Advanced, each of which support a different level of features. WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries Advanced Edition V 5.1.2 introduces support for system screens for the WebFacing applications. This new feature removes one of the biggest limitations of previous versions of the IBM WebFacing Tool.
This IBM Redbooks publication provides helpful guidance to developers who are new to refacing applications using the IBM WebFacing Tool. It also offers advanced techniques to developers who have some experience in using the IBM WebFacing Tool and want to refine their Web applications.
First, this book introduces you to the IBM WebFacing Tool. Then it walks you through a scenario, which involves converting a 5250 application to a Web application. Next it explains how to refine your browser interface and customize a WebFacing application. Finally, it discusses how to integrate and extend your WebFacing application to provide the required and added functions.
Please note that the additional material referenced in the text is not available from IBM.
