You might sometimes need to test a web application on an i5/OS WAS instance. If you find it too much of a hassle to export your project as an EAR or WAR file, upload the file to the remote server, then install the application (and repeat the process again when you make a change!) – or if you just don’t want the overhead of running WAS locally – consider configuring your remote server within the IDE so you can use it just like a test environment.

Main highlights include the ability to create Web projects that take full advantage of both technologies to form one UI modernization solution, and the ability to create a Rich Client user interface to your green screen applications through HATS Rich Client support.

Greetings, from Hania

Hi everyone, this is Hania from the WebFacing team typing. With my first entry, I’d also like to welcome everyone to our almost-new blog. Like Don, I’ve long followed several blogs, but hesitated from having one of my own mostly because of the need to post frequently. With this team effort, that excuse concern has been addressed, so in I dive :)

About me: I joined the WebFacing team slightly over 2 years ago. Some of my—not necessarily relevant—interests are (web|industrial|software|graphic) design, human-computer interaction, visual arts, technology, astronomy, and science in general.

My plan for now is to start with a few WebFacing how-to’s along with some slightly more general thoughts, then see how things go from there. Let me know if there are any particular how-to’s you’d like to see here.
