Re: Zendsvr and using AJP

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tomcat isn't the problem here.  I use the open source version of Tomcat 
on my i all the time and haven't used the Tomcat version that IBM 
supplied, ever.  The issue is that since our friends at IBM decided not 
to support their own version of Tomcat on i (understandable) they also 
decided not to support Apache's implementation of AJP on i.  I would 
argue that the MTU is saying that IBM won't support Tomcat on i. Period. 
And so they weren't going to support any Apache modules that talked to 
Tomcat using AJP.

Sure would have been nice if there provided an alternative to the SRVPGM 
that provided the module connector for AJP though.  As it is, if you 
want to run Tomcat on i and front end it with Apache, you can't do that 
on i, you'll need to run Apache on Linux, AIX or Windows and then point 
AJP back to your Tomcat instance on i.

Bummer (and a bit short sighted I think....)
