Hi,

We have deployed IBM HTTP webserver on our mainframe. We are planning to host some web pages on the same. Could any one provide some help reg how to acheive this? What languages could be used to acheieve the same?

My requirement
-------------------
- Extract data from DB2 tables (on Mainframes).
- Using this data generate static html pages.

How about generating static HTML pages using COBOL? Are there better ways of doing it?

Thanks

dilip,

You can code a stored procedure to retrieve the data from DB2 and code a JSP to show it on the screen.

Dilip,

You can use the CICS Web API, that comes with the CICS Transaction Server. This technique is called CWS (CICS Web Support). CWS is basically a set of programs that help web enabling a CICS program.

Browse the IBM website for more information on this.

Cheers
