Hello, We are using WAS Express in production for quite a while now. We at version 5.2 now. WAS express works just fine. We are using custom built serlets in conjunction with the ISeries java toolbox. The only downside is you can not take full advantage of webfacing. You need the full version for single signon environment (very complex if you try ldap), command key and parameter processing is easier, and there is an issue with profiles. Deployment of webfacing projects can be an issue also. But, to do both dynamic and non-dynamic pages using servlets and jsp it works fine. Hope this helps -----Original Message----- From: Joe Pluta [mailto:joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 7:06 PM To: 'Web Enabling the AS400 / iSeries' Subject: [WEB400] Who Uses WebSphere Express? I'm going to cross-post this to MIDRANGE-L as well, because I think it is a valid question for that list, as it's an overall technical question. But David will let us know one way or the other. The situation is this. On one of the iSeries forums, a contention has been made that WebSphere Express is inadequate for use as a corporate web application server. I vehemently denied this, since I use it and I know of several clients using it to some degree. But many of my clients are in the pre-production stage, or else are using the full WebSphere product, and so I'm not a good source of information for this. Further, someone implied that IBM has no idea how many people are actually using the product, so that asking them would not help. Again I disagreed, and I will try to ask some folks within IBM. However, I thought it might also be appropriate to go to the horse's mouth, so to speak, and ask the vast community that makes up midrange.com and see what they are doing. So, I was wondering how many of you are currently using WebSphere Express on an iSeries in production. While I realize that some may not be able to say much due to corporate privacy issues, any additional information would be welcome, such as number of users, intranet vs. Internet, type of applications and so on. I plan to gather this information and include it in an upcoming article, so if you'd like to give some information but not have it publicly available, feel free to email me directly and state that it's not for the record. Thanks in advance, everyone! I think it's time we start getting some real information out there and fight the FUD that's I feel is going to happen very shortly as vendors begin to position themselves to get the greatest piece of the iSeries pie. If you're interested in reading why I feel that way, please see my just-published article, "The iSeries: The Once and Future King" at MCPressOnline: http://www.mcpressonline.com/mc?1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@.6b2216b3 Joe -- This is the Web Enabling the AS400 / iSeries (WEB400) mailing list To post a message email: WEB400@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/web400 or email: WEB400-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/web400.
