Where can I get information installing tomcat 4 on as/400.  Also I am able
to install tomcat 4 on windows 2000 machine and configured it with Visual
Age for Java but I don't know how to set it up for debugging?  I can debug
the example given in Tomcat 4 and Visual Age for Java.

Hi Eric

After reading this testimonial on Tomcat, I installed
it on our AS/400 today.  Installation
was pretty easy and it seems to be lightweight.

The problem with using Tomcat for my particular application is
I use basic authentication in the http configuration (5769DG1)
for our employee Intranet which requires the
employee to sign-on using their user profile and
password. This enables me to get their user profile
in servlets via:  request.getRemoteUser().
I can then limit their options according to who they are.

When using Tomcat I loose this ability. So I'll
be sticking with Websphere V3R5, even though it
is a bear to work with on an underpowered machine
(9406-620-2175-832MB-V4R5).

My apologies to those who find this off-topic. :)

Thanx, PLA

Hello All,

  I am not sure how many of you are aware of it, but
there is a Open Source production grade web
application server out there that is simple to install
and configure, takes about a quarter of the resources
of Websphere and is more compliant with sun's
specifications. Best of all its free. Its called
tomcat and you can get it from jakarta.apache.org.

We have used websphere for our production application
server since v2.01 and we have had nothing but
problems and trouble since we upgraded to 3.0 (now we
are at 3.5). We recently found tomcat after reading an
article in Midrange Computing (the give some source
for as/400 start scripts etc). So if you are have alot
of trouble with websphere I would check out tomcat -
all the information says its just as stable, even
clusterable now, and cost of ownership in the long run
is much cheaper.

Now, if any of you IBM people out there know something
I don't feel free to give a rebuttal, but so far in my
personal experiance Tomcat is a much better product overall.
