Gilles,
Websphere is actually supported on the AS/400 with version 1.1. You can find
the information on the following URL:
http://www.as400.ibm.com/tstudio/websphere/docs/wasgs44.htm

The following announcement dates are not really official but gives you an
idea of the delivery dates:

WSS = WebSphere Standard
WSA = WebSphere Advanced
WSE = WebSphere Enterprise

July 1999 WSS 3.0 on AIX, NT, Solaris, OS/2, Linux (beta)
          WSA 3.0 on AIX, NT, Solaris
          WSE 3.0 on AIX, NT, Solaris

Q3 1999   WSS 3.0 on Linux
          WSA 3.0 on AS/400

Q1 2000   WSS 4.0 on AIX, NT, Solaris
          WSA 4.0 on AIX, NT, Solaris
          WSE 3.0 on OS/390
          WSE 4.0 on AIX, NT, Solaris

Best Regards

I Simone.

We are working on a project where we have corba servers written in Java on
an as400.
In your mail you say that you have friends who are using WebSphere on an
as400.
I thought that WebSphere was not yet supported by the as400. Can you tell me
if i'm wrong

Thanks

Gilles

Hi Shahar!

Well, I think Java is for real, and it is for real on the AS/400 too.

To answer some of your questions briefly, Java can interact with C, C++ and 
RPG via the JNI, for example. You can also use direct procedure calls (DPC).

I'm no great C/C++ programmer, but I should imagine there's no secret in 
calling Java from those languages. From RPG, for now, you have to form a CL 
command containing JAVA CLASS(myclass) and then call QCMDEXEC. You can also 
use some middleware such as the AS400's own data queues, or even MQSeries,
or 
CORBA.

To interact with the database, you can use JDBC, for example. VisualAge for 
Java Enterprise Edition has some nice wizards such as the Data Access Beans 
and the Data Access Builder.

I have colleagues working on the AS/400 with WebSphere, deploying servlets 
and Java server pages. Others are building pilot CORBA apps. I'm working on 
deploying the Entrust Toolkit for Java on the box, for message 
authentication. It feels 'for real' to me :)

Best regards,

Simone
