RE: WebSphere

John, here's an explanation I got from an IBMer on the subject a while back:

"There's three editions of WebSphere. The standard edition comes free with OS/400 as a separately installed feature and supports servlets and Java server pages. The advanced edition -- which was just announced for AS/400 -- supports everything the standard edition does plus Enterprise JavaBeans. It costs $7,500 per CPU. The third is the Enterprise Edition, which AS/400 will never have. It supports S/390 architectures for component broker and TXSeries. There's no AS/400 customers that are running TXSeries or Component Broker today, and it didn't make any sense to move that technology over to the AS/400. We'll interoperate with the enterprise edition, but we're not going to run it on the AS/400."

Paul Conte gives a pretty good explanation of the value of EJBs in his March 2000 NEWS/400 article "A Guide to IBM's Application Framework for e-Business," which you can read online at http://www.as400network.com/resources/artarchive/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewarticle&CO_ContentID=6152&CFID=1754&CFTOKEN=21620979 ,

though you may have to be a subscriber to read it.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Cheryl Ross

I don't know if this message got lost.

In 25 words or less can anyone explain what part of Websphere comes with the
box and
what part you have to buy?

What do you get with each?  and what is the value of the boughten piece

John

P.S.   Thanks for the Dumb Op's nav answers.
