Regards Rizwan IBM Expected To Announce OS/400 Tomcat Soon By Joe Hertvik In response to the uproar IBM caused this spring when it announced that it would not offer the free WebSphere Application Server Standard Edition (WAS SE) with WebSphere Version 4.0 and that it would withdraw WAS SE at the end of 2002, IBM will soon announce that it is porting a version of the Apache Software Foundation's Tomcat Web Application Server to the iSeries. IBM is porting Apache to the iSeries because it contains most of the capabilities of the WAS SE product (servlets and JavaServer Pages) without threatening the higher end capabilities of WebSphere V4.0, which supports Enterprise JavaBeans and is more scaleable and secure product. IBM will position OS/400 Tomcat as an entry-level Web application serving environment and encourage people to go to WebSphere V4.0 Advanced Edition when they want to do more serious work. While there hasn't been an official announcement yet, there has been enough advanced information emerging from different IBM sources that I feel relatively safe in sketching out a probable picture of what the OS/400 Tomcat server will look like. The official announcement will likely contain a few additional details but here's how I expect IBM will deliver an OS/400-based Tomcat server. Tomcat is being developed under the name of Project Jakarta by members of the ASF. OS/400 Tomcat will run on OS/400 V4R5 and V5R1, and it will likely be delivered as part of IBM's HTTP Server for iSeries during the fourth quarter of 2001. Like IBM's OS/400 Apache implementation, OS/400 Tomcat will be delivered as a compiled object rather than as open source that can be tweaked and recompiled by OS/400 users. IBM will deliver it this way so that it can modify Tomcat for OS/400 compatibility (including integration with OS/400 features) and reliability, and the OS/400 Tomcat server would then become part of OS/400 and be eligible for IBM support. By compiling Tomcat, IBM can also keep whatever improvements it makes to Tomcat out of the open source community. There hasn't been any word as to what IBM will call the Tomcat server. However, just as the OS/400 Apache is officially called the "HTTP Server (powered by Apache)" because IBM had modified the source code and delivered it as a compiled object, I would expect that IBM will come up with an appropriate name for the OS/400 Tomcat Server, perhaps something as simple as Jakarta Tomcat for iSeries. As to which Tomcat version will port to OS/400 (there are four current versions of the server), IBM has said it plans to support the Java Servlet 2.2 and JSP 1.1 specifications, This means IBM will not use the just-released Tomcat 4.0 beta, which supports the Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 specs. Of the three Tomcat 3.x server lines (3.1.x, 3.2.x, and 3.3.x) that support the Servlet 2.2 and JSP 1.1 specs, 3.1.x is a legacy release, 3.2.x is the current production quality release, and Tomcat 3.3.x is a beta for the next generation of Tomcat 3.x. Since Tomcat isn't a strategic product for the iSeries (as Apache is), I would expect IBM to stay with the current production quality release. So the OS/400 Tomcat server will probably be built and delivered using the current production quality 3.2.3 or above source code. One of the more interesting points, however, is what type of compatibility OS/400 Tomcat will have with the rest of IBM's WebSphere product line. According to IBM sources, the OS/400 Tomcat server will not work with most of IBM's WebSphere products, such as WebSphere Commerce Suite, the upcoming iSeries Access for Web, WebSphere Host Publisher, and WebSphere Transcoding Publisher. However, OS/400 Tomcat will work with the WebFacing tool that comes with IBM's new WebSphere Development Studio. This means that you won't have to install and configure WebSphere just to put a Web-based GUI on your existing RPG and other OS/400 programs. IBM is designing OS/400 Tomcat to function as another delivery environment for Web-enabled RPG programs by using the WebFacing Tool. IBM is serious about providing WebFacing "for the masses" and you won't be required to install the commercial WebSphere product to get it-although you will have to buy WebSphere Development Studio or be on Software Subscription to get the WebFacing tool. With OS/400 Tomcat, IBM is providing a compiled version of Jakarta's Tomcat open source server that can be used for lower-end Web sites and for WebFacing existing programs. IBM is gambling that its customers that start with OS/400 Tomcat will migrate to the commercial WebSphere Application Server as their needs increase. Whatever the motivation, it's a good deal for OS/400 users who don't have the budget or inclination to deal with WebSphere. The official announcement on OS/400 Tomcat should appear sometime before the end of the third quarter.
