We have an ongoing discussion about using Java in the future to revamp some or all of our applications running on or with the iSeries. Some people keeps bringing up the notion that all the companies that tried moving to Java on the iSeries failed, and that nobody uses Java in the enterprise.
Is that the case? Is that an obsolete notion? I think that there are many companies using Java for their companies on Unix and Windows machines, but I'm not so sure about the iSeries.

We use Java here to provide glue to our legacy system which knows how to do network transfers, XML/XSLT stuff, provide web server functionality (web service endpoints, web container), local clients with users.

The combination works well, but a lot of effort have been used in building an efficient bridge between Java and Cobol.

Also Java on the AS/400 runs rather slowly, and needs all the help it can get.
