Re: Sun JDK on AS400?

["Blair Wyman" <blairw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you saying that this servlet doesn't work in the AS/400 JVM?  ..or that
you *suspect* it won't work there, because it doesn't work under the IBM
JREs for Windows or AIX?

While IBM implemented its own JVM on the AS/400, from scratch, we already
use the Sun version of the JDK classes (the classes that make up the java.*
API that are located in rt.jar).

So, if you haven't tried this servlet on the AS/400 yet, you should.

(If you can be more specific about the nature of the incompatibility, there
could be other solutions lurking.  There aren't a lot of incompatibilities
between the vendor JRE versions, but there are certainly some...
Serialization is one area where things get a little dicey.)

Hi all,


We are having to use a third party servlet to access a remote database. Due
to some unique "features" of this servlet, it will not work under the IBM
JDK/JRE - it must be using some out-of-spec features in the Sun JDK/JRE. We
are hoping that the developers of this servlet will be able to provide a
properly compliant version, but in the meantime, is it possible to use the
Sun JRE on the AS400 an if so, how should I set this up?


I am using Tomcat 3.2.1 as the servlet engine/web server. On a NT machine,
the servlet works with Sun JDK 1.3.1, but not IBM JDK 1.2.2 or 1.3.


Many thanks in anticipation,


Darrell
