The Web Development tool for RPG Programmers

WebSmart ILE Edition offers unparalleled flexibility and superior total cost of ownership. It produces native ILE CGI objects written primarily in RPG that run on the native HTTP Apache Web Server - included free with every System i operating system.

WebSmart ILE also provides seamless integration with any of your existing RPG applications or heritage code. It includes many features and tools for helping you to reuse business logic and user interfaces.

WebSmart ILE is the perfect choice for developers who want to leverage their existing RPG skills to produce System i-centric browser-based or Web services (SOA) Applications.  The efficiency of generated WebSmart ILE CGI applications makes them ideal for running on small or large System i servers, without the need for expensive hardware upgrades or complex middleware installations, providing you with tremendous value and ongoing low TCO.

WebSmart also provides a path to multi-platform deployment. You can access MS SQL Server or MySQL databases from WebSmart ILE and it also uses the same IDE as WebSmart PHP for multi-platform deployment.  The WebSmart family of Web Development tools gives you ease of use and flexibility - providing you with short and long-term investment value for all your web application needs.
