Connecting to AS/400 Database Question

["Mike Herman" <mherman_list@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I am new to running a web server on the 400.  I am a IIS and Cold Fusion
guy but due to the licensing costs we have decided to utilize our 400.

We have a I-series 9406-730 running V5R1.  Also running and configured
ar Apache and Tomcat.

I have it running and can run .jsp pages with simple statements like:
<%@ include file="include/nav.jsp" %> and they work fine.

Now I need to connect to the 400 database to run queries over it.  I
tried simple queries like:
<sql:query var="bday">
        select * from name
</sql:query>

But nothing happens.  I do not know where to define the datasource.

I have O'Reilly's book and others but they all talk Unix.  They do not
reference the 400 at all.

Does anyone know of a reference for me to use to guide a "non-400" guy
through this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
