Re: iSeries Access for Web -- WEB400

Yeah, this I knew.  But I always thought it was a step in the right
direction for IBM to provide support for Tomcat, even though it was
always out of date. I'd had hopes this marked the start of a larger
trend of providing more open-source type products with support for free,
such as PHP, and PERL and Python and others as part of the software you
could get with AS/400. 

I guess that was naive on my part.

They did that to appease the masses after they dropped the free version
of WebSphere (this isn't an issue any more). You still need a bigger box
to run WebSphere with good performance but version 6 should help when
using the 32 bit JVM which has a much smaller memory foot print. 

Also, there's no reason why you need IBM to provide you with an old (it
was old when IBM delivered it), insecure version of Tomcat that has had
functionality removed from it. You can download and install a newer and
un-crippled version from apache.org (make sure you get the connector as
well, the newer connector performs better and is required with Tomcat 5
and newer).

This is true?  IBM is dropping support for Tomcat on iSeries?  Didn't
they JUST! Give us support for this in V5R1?

yeah I saw that while doing upgrade, jsut trying to "buy" some time as
they
seem "h### bent" on picking a "replacement" ASAP followed by at least an
18-24 month conversion and thats IF we stick with the same SW vendor and
use
their "new and improved" .NET version running of course on MS and
covnert
from the "native" RPG app........

well, don't get too attached, according to the MTU... V5R4 is the last
release supporting tomcat. You would have to download, install and run
the Apache version or use WebSphere.
