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

Hi David,

We are currently running our company intranet on Tomcat3.2.4 as distributed by 
IBM with Apache web server. I'm trying to upgrade to Tomcat4.1.12. I was trying 
to start Tomcat by using startup.sh and get an error message: 'JAVA_HOME env 
variable not found'. I used 'export JAVA_HOME=/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/jdk13' 
line in the beginning of the script and it doesn't work. Can you give some 
instructions on how to modify startup.sh as well as how to configure apache 
Plug-in to run with 4.1.12. I was using instructions provided in this article: 
http://www.ignite400.com/news/pdf/news2002030304.pdf and for some reason that 
doesn't work.
I was able to install and run Tomcat as stand-alone (port 8080) using another 
startup script at 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/iseries-toolkit/CVSROOT/src/sh/Attic/catalina400.sh
 but it is much slower than 3.2.4
Thanks for your help...

PLA,

The Coyote connector is not done, but the old connector will work
OK for now. Henri Gomez, who wrote the mod_jk connector says
he will write one when he gets some time. We moved our production
site to 4.1.12 over the weekend and it is very fast on our site
compared to 4.0.x. The biggest issue we ran into were some jar
incompatibilities (you pretty much need to make sure your site and
Tomcat are compiled and run over the same version shared jars).
Before moving to 4.1.12, you may also need to review any custom
tags you have written. On one of our sites, there were some issues
caused by the tag caching introduced in 4.1.12 (Struts tags seem
to work just fine).

You wouldn't happen to know if anyone is working on a mod_jk2
(CoyoteConnector) port for the iSeries? The think the mod_jk2 is
required for the Tomcat Administration and manger applications.

Also this is a note on the Jakrata site: *IMPORTANT NOTE: The JK
connector is now deprecated. Use the Coyote JK 2 connector instead.

Thanx, PLA
