Thanks,

Looks like I'll have to get the installation, and java group, CD's out:
5722JC1   *BASE    5050    AS/400 Toolbox for Java
5722JC1   *BASE    2924    AS/400 Toolbox for Java
5722JV1   *BASE    5050    IBM Developer Kit for Java
5722JV1   *BASE    2924    IBM Developer Kit for Java
5722JV1   3        5103    Java Developer Kit 1.2
5722JV1   4        5104    Java Developer Kit 1.1.8

Is there a reason NOT to install 1.3?

Rob,

I think you will come to appreciate Java over CGI as
you see its capabilities. Tomcat and Websphere are both
servlet engines that support JSP pages. JSP pages are
just generated servlets.

You say "whip up post haste" and your developer has some
stuff ready. Sounds like Tomcat to me. Here are some
articles to get you started:

If you are current on PTFs and already have the 1.3 JDK installed,
you should be able to get it up and running in an hour or so.
Since the 1.3 JDK comes with 5.1, that won't slow you up much if
you don't have it installed, but be sure to order and apply the
latest java group. Tomcat should not even be noticeable in your
environment and should not necessitate an upgrade. Java does
like memory though but at your low utilization, I don't imagine you
will need more.

Probably due to my failure to get off my dead a$$ and install a couple
of
proof of concept CGI programs the boss has decided to use the Java
front
end to RPG programs.

Now I need to know which implementation of servers on the 400 support
Java.  Which of the following, if any, does NOT support Java?
http - original
http - pbApache
Tomcat
Websphere

Not looking at high volume.

Which of the above should I be using?
And what is a good link for setting it up?  I've set up a few
originals.

Our intranet may be running on our 840-12 way:  % CPU used :
10.4
Testing and development will be running on our 820:  % CPU used : 21.2
Extra/inter net will be on our 270:  % CPU used :        1.3
Knowing my boss, throwing some money to upgrade the machines, if
necessary, would be no problem.
Everything is V5R1 and will be V5R2 shortly after it is available.

Currently our internet site is 100% Domino.
Our current intranet site is static and is a very simple Domino
database.

We have a developer who just about has some java screens ready for
testing
and I need to whip up the server post haste.
