cobol/xml/html

[DARTIS]

Has anyone every used this combination?

I have a old dos PC system I need to take to the web and I would like to keep the cobol engine in place if possible. Over 200,000 lines of code.

Thanks in advance.

Liant has a new product called Business Information Server, or simply BIS. It is available for both Microsoft IIS and Linux/Apache (with other Unix/Apache platforms possible) on a limited release basis right now, and will soon be available for general release (the User Guide is still being changed). BIS makes extensive use of the capabilities of Liant's XML Toolkit, which has been available for quite a while.

BIS allows the COBOL developer a means to bring his legacy applications to the web, either to provide a browser interface (XHTML) or to provide web services (SOAP). Unlike earlier CGI based products, BIS provides session control, allowing the COBOL program to interact with a client browser or other user agent without having to save state (i.e. close files and STOP RUN) between each interaction.
