Business Computer Design International Inc.'s WebSmart, Version 5.24 follows through on its promise to quickly generate Web applications. Using WebSmart, developers can avoid having to write their own code and can often create iSeries Web applications in less than 30 minutes.

WebSmart generates ILE-RPG CGI or Java for developing and deploying Web and wireless applications using iSeries and non-iSeries databases. WebSmart ILE's development is done using a Windows-based interactive development environment (IDE) that automatically produces CGI programs that provide dynamic Web content via the original HTTP server or Apache server. Programs are generated in RPGLE to ensure the code can deploy on even the smallest iSeries or AS/400 servers.

The WebSmart Java Servlet Edition uses the same IDE but generates Java servlets. It gives developers the ability to generate dynamic Web applications that execute on operating systems that support WebSphere, Tomcat, BEA Weblogic and other Java-centric Web application servers.

WebSmart 5.24 includes several new features, including support for WebSmart Clover. This plug-in is an iSeries query tool that generates reports in HTML for display in Web browsers. WebSmart also supports Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax), which lets you create more dynamic Web applications, and it lets you build programs that access other servers via Web services.
