RE: Servlet and WebSphere

Yes they are but beware if people say Java is young wait till you start
playing with servlets on the 400. I just put the latest fixes on which I
thought would improve performance on start-up which is always slow and yet
it seems worse :) The way we look at this is Servlets are long term short
term we will continue to use Net.Data to get going and start building them
together with servlets.

I had a look at things like Visual Age for Java and it seems to have a
really nice visual builder for servlets which is what you want. If I can
build servlets in the same way I build a web page thats what interests me. I
dont have the worry of what the client has on the PC Java wise as I know
what the 400 can do lots and lots of advantages but buyer beware :)

Bleddyn (or informed others)--

It seems to me like Java servlets is _the_ place where server-side Java will
get real with the AS/400 this year. From everything I've read, Java servlets
look like a great alternative to the traditional CGI programming methods
used to bring results to the Web (assuming IBM gets its documentation and
performance act together).

Am I nuts? Aren't Java servlets (assuming you have V4R3 or higher) a great
place to start looking for instant payback with Java on the AS/400?

Thanks for your thoughts...
