RE: Replacing IIS with iSeries 400

Absolutely.  In fact, I think WebSphere's JSP capabilities are very good.
The compilation is quick and it does a great job of caching the JSPs, so
that in production you can easily achieve subsecond response time.

The thing about developing a web application is that you need to take some
time deciding what it's purpose is.  There are two basic designs:
high-volume data entry applications (which are what we'er used to writing in
the AS/400 world) and low-volume brochure-ware types of sites (with lots of
static information and pretty pictures).  You can combine both, but they are
very different in their architectural approaches.

If you're interested, I can walk you through what I think is a really
powerful demonstration  of a high-volume data entry application - it
supports all the things we're used to in the AS/400 world, including popup
windows and function keys, cursor sensitivity, all kinds of nice things like
that.
