1.1.4 Terminal Servlet
10 CICS Transaction Gateway V5
The Terminal Servlet is a supplied Java servlet that allows you to use a Web
browser as an emulator for a 3270 CICS application. It dynamically converts
3270 output into HTML for display on a Web browser, and is a non-programmatic
solution for Web-enabling 3270 applications.
The Terminal Servlet is similar in function to the CICS-supplied 3270 Web bridge,
in that it provides a turn-key solution to Web-enabling 3270-based applications. It
also has the ability to use the same HTML templates as the 3270 Web bridge to
display the output of CICS BMS maps as HTML forms. In addition, it provides a
basic terminal emulation capability, and the ability to use server-side includes to
display information from a CICS screen. The HTML template interface offered by
the Terminal Servlet is shown in Figure 1-5.
