Re: Connecting to AS/400 from within a JSP page

["frank o'conner" <wsjavaws@xxxxxxxx>]

Ewout,

Not to sound like a shill but I learned about DB access to the 400 from 
"Introduction to Java Using
WebSphere".  However, it doesn't cover using Faces JSP data components and I 
have been stuck trying
to get those to work with any DB....

Hope that helps.
