RE: Web server info

You can't use a web application server without a web server, but you could

have just a web server
without a web application server.

You sure can, and it is actually my preferred method for some of the
projects I am on. Simply start up Tomcat on ANY machine and you have a web
application server. No need to front-end it with Apache/IIS/etc, but you
definitely _can_ if the business requirements necessitate it.

There's really only one "web server".

The standard HTTP server (powered by Apache) that ships with OS/400. (note
that I've heard of some
installing and using the latest and greatest version of Apache downloaded
directly from apache.org.)

There used to be another option, the original IBM provided HTTP Server for
iSeries which was dropped
at v5r3.

htm


WAS, WAS Express, and Tomcat are "web application servers" which are
separate and distinctly
different animals than "web servers".


You can't use a web application server without a web server, but you could
have just a web server
without a web application server.

What do you want to do?

HTH,
Charles

Since I wasn't aware that there was even more than one, gives
you some idea of how much I know on this subject.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi, Pat:

Exactly what "web server" are you talking about?

If it is the standard HTTP server powered by Apache that ships with
OS/400, see:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246716.html

Or, if it is WAS Express, see:
http://www.mc-store.com/5064.html

Or, I suggest you might want to try Apache Tomcat. See:
http://www.itjungle.com/mpo/mpo021402-story02.html
and
http://www.itjungle.com/mpo/mpo021402-story05.html

For starters...

Cheers,
