Re: AS/400 and Java (Tomcat on AS400)

Hi David:



I installed Tomcat 1.1.12 on AS/400 today (stand alone mode). Thanks for the
scripts that I downloaded from your web site. The first time it took a few
minutes to start because it was attaching java programs to all the jar
files. Subsequent starts take about 1 minute.

I installed the same Tomcat (unzip and copy) on 4 computers: AS400, win95,
win2000, winXP.  Only the one on win2000 refuses to run. Here are some
discussions on this in case someone knows a solution:

Thanks

Bruce
