I am looking at a powerbuilder 11.5 application modernization. I think I would want to Web Service enable the powerbuilder server and rebuild the client in HTML verusus re-write the entire stack (its over 1.8M lines of code). Does anyone know if WebMethods or a similar ESB can interface and abstract a powerbuilder server?
can you use webMethods to interface with a powerbuilder 11.5 server?

I did some research on modernizing Powerbuilder and discovered with this particular version (and I suspect others) it is not trivial.
PowerBuilder modernization is difficult because:
Sybase provides strategies and methods to move to a distributed, web-based J2EE platform (their EAServer), or .NET. Both approaches come with lots of caveats, considerations, pros, and cons. A good example is that in PowerBuilder, developers can put code in visual object (like attached to an onEvent of a button), but when moving to an n-tiered environment this logic needs to reside on the server in a non-visual object (NVO). This would allow relatively simple event interaction that could be captured and modernized even though it will really require a good deep look at all of the interfaces and some code insertion which needs to be carefully monitored.
