Hi Brian,
   Well, there have always been good reasons to run your app/web server on
a separate box, even if you were using WebSphere.
   On the upside for the '400, on my current project ( Glassfish running
against AS/400 database, ) I'm using some of the SQL 2003 capabilitiess DB2
supports, as well as UTF-8 in anticipation of some other languages coming
in.
   The project involves product costing against bills of material with 
effective date prices, UOM conversions, and a slew of challenges, but fun. 
Even better, the client was using Access and Excel, and now they're getting 
revved about Java and the AS/400.  Not to mention that they will have a 
coherent pricing model...
   So, do you do the scientific stuff on the AS/400 as well, or is that on
other boxes/languages?  If this gets boring to others on list, we can move
elsewhere or quit.

these days I almost always use Glassfish ( when
I have a choice.. )
I also develop against Glassfish (using netbeans).  We still use WAS on
the i as our production server, but I'm planning on moving some of our
apps over to Glassfish on Linux.
To think I used to be so happy developing with WDSC / WAS.  IBM pretty
much pushed me into Sun's eager arms...
