The WebFacing component in the HATS Toolkit provides the ability to convert DDS display file source members into a Web-based user interface for your existing IBM i programs.
WebFacing also provides support for system screens, portal, and single sign-on.
Also, a data exchange application bridge feature allows you to pass information between WebFacing applications and your other Web programs, such as HATS
or RBD EGL (Rational Business Developer Enterprise Generation Language) applications.
HATS interoperability with WebFacing applications allows the potential to perform pre-runtime 5250 DDS transformation, as well as runtime 5250 data stream transformation, within the same Web enterprise application, using a single connection to a WebFacing server.
This function is particularly useful for those who have built a DDS source-based transformation application (using WebFacing) that needs to interact with a host application that has been data-stream transformed (using HATS).
If you have the WebFacing feature installed,
launch the Create Linked HATS/WebFacing Project wizard
to enable the binding of a HATS and a WebFacing project into a single deployable EAR application.
You can also elect to have a HATS application connect to a WebFacing server rather than a Telnet server, without binding the HATS application to a WebFacing application (and without ever opening the WebFacing perspective).
The WebFacing tool is now only available as a feature of HATS; previously it was installed as part of the Websphere Development Studio Client (WDSC) clients.
