It seems like you are asking if there is a free license of WAS. There is a developer version of WebSphere Application Server, but you can't get it unless you have a Professional Level subscription to IBM's developerWorks site. If you have a subscription, you can go to http://www6.software.ibm.com/devcon/devcon/docs/catalog.html#websphere and download it there. If you don't have a subscription, then you can get one for $1749 USD from IBM. Go here: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/toolbox/ordering/subretp2.html?country=USA for more info. If you don't have a subscription, and if you want to develop/test without buying additional licenses for WAS, you could set up an additional instance of WebSphere as a test environment on your iSeries. Unfortunately, development would be slowed a bit because you will have to deploy your code each time you want to test it fully. You can, however, utilize Test cases with JUnit, and Mock Objects (http://www.mockobjects.com/) to unit test your code locally before deploying to your test instance on the iSeries. Then you would not have to purchase WSAD. Also, don't discount testing locally in Tomcat. I understand your concerns about using Tomcat since it isn't where you are going to finally deploy, but if you develop your application to be J2EE compliant, and you don't use any WebSphere specific features, then your application should function about the same no matter where you deploy. You could test with Tomcat locally, and then do your integration test on the test instance you create on the iSeries. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris DeLashmutt Senior R&D Analyst LeasePlan USA 1165 Sanctuary Pkwy., Alpharetta, GA 30004 Phone: 678-202-8695 Fax: 678-566-8551 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Richards, Etienne (EM, PTL)" To: "'java400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx'" <java400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> <Etienne.Richards@p cc: enske.com> Subject: WebSphere Application Server 5.0 Development Sent by: java400-l-bounces@m idrange.com 09/30/2003 11:24 AM Please respond to Java Programming on and around the iSeries / AS400 All, What are my options when developing applications for WebSphere if I do not buy WebSphere Development Studio? It seems like IBM removed the developers edition of WebSphere Application Server in version 5. So if I want to develop against WebSphere (run WebSphere on my development machine) I have to buy a WebSphere Application Server license (or buy Development Studio). I do not want to run Tomcat on my development machine and then deploy to a different application server (and be surprised). It seems like they are forcing you to either buy Development Studio or buy additional WebSphere licenses if you want to complete your whole development process against WebSphere. Are there other options that I am not aware of?
