Re: Web services primer

Hopefully they don't mean that old dinosaur application server for Java but instead mean they the free express version.

Jim,

Spend some time at Apache.org and take a good look at Tomcat or go look at JBOSS both are free open source servers. WebSphere is virtually a thing of the past. It makes no sense to spend the money on WebSphere today.

Folks:



I have a customer that is about to take the plunge into web services. They
first need to choose if they use WAS 8.5 Express, IWS or TOMCAT. Some of
the IBM i instances have the Zend server so they would use that when
available. Next they need a good primer about design and implementation.
I've found the basic web sites from IBM but I'm wondering if the group has
some suggestions on best practices and resources to use.



The customer is at V7R1 now but will be at V7R2 very soon and potentially
V7R3 by end of year. Any comments on the IBM i environment as it relates to
web services would be welcome as well.



While I can build and deploy a simple web service, I am far from an expert
therefore my request to you.
