RE: Does jBoss work on iSeries?

Robert,

I don't know about JBoss specifically, but I know that when trying to
install Tomcat 4.xx on as400, the problems relate to shell scripts, not to
the actual java code itself. Once those shell script issues are sorted out,
your flyin'.

So I wonder if the Jboss install issues are similar

Cheers

Subject: Re: Does jBoss work on iSeries?


Does anybody on this list have experience with this?  I too am in the
process of implementing a J2EE system.  My system will interface with a
legacy system running on the iSeries and I would like to also run JBoss on
the same server.  I have downloaded the the latest 3.2 version of JBoss and
unpacked it to my IFS, it starts, but it seems to throw random exceptions
that I have never saw when I run it on linux.

I haven't been able to find allot of information about JBoss+iSeries and I
am hoping that we have a community here.
