RE: migrating to AS400, need help

["Urbanek, Marty" <Marty_Urbanek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Check out "Getting Started with WebSphere" by Brian Kelly, ISBN
#1-58304-091-9.

It is a good quick start guide. Unfortunately it is not updated for the
current releases and I wish he would come out with an updated edition.
However, I still think you will find some of the information helpful. I did.

subject: migrating to AS400, need help

Hi,
I have been developing a web application for a long
time with websphere on windowsNT/ Windows2000, I
started with websphere 4.0 and then migrated it to
webphere5.0
Now the client wants to migrate  to AS400 as the
database we use is DB2 on AS400 and most of the
busniess logic is in RPG and RPGLE, So it makes sense
to run websphere on AS400
But the problem is of migratinon, although java is
write once, run any where, it wont be the same running
my webapplication on AS400,
So how do u people think I should go about it,
I am using JT400 3.1 version, 
The first thing that comes to my mind is using the
native drive for JDBC.
althought i am pretty much familiar with AS400 and RPG
never worked on websphere on AS400, where can i get a
book or info about it.
Also is JDK1.4.1 available on AS400 with websphere5.0
Any one used websphere express on AS400, any
suggestion about the performance of websphere on AS400

Any suggestions please
