Together with a colleague we reviewed an existing IBM AS400 based web catalogue. The goal of the internship was to create a platform independent, web based application. Stored procedures were ported to Java and moved into a Derby database for prototyping. The front-end was mainly JSP based.The actual logic was deployed separately on a Tomcat application server and consumed using SOAP (XML, axis).The internship was awarded with a price from KBC (a Belgian Banking Company) as part of the top 3 internships that year.
