How fast is this connection?  This is a VERY unusual configuration, and I
can immediately see several places where you might have problems.  When you
mentioned "simulating" this architecture with Oracle, you didn't mention
anything about the Internet.  Is your Oracle database separated from the web
server by an Internet connection as well?

Please post your code.  It looks to me as if you are creating multiple
connections to the AS/400.  This will perform poorly, especially over the
Internet.

As to PTFs missing, yes you are missing PTFs.  Do you regularly apply
cumulative and group PTFs to your machine?  If you don't understand that
question, then you need to talk to your iSeries administrator.  PTFs on the
iSeries are like OS upgrades on any machine - you should apply them
regularly.

Finally, I highly suggest you do what I recommended in my earlier post,
which is to separate the database logic out of your servlet and run it
directly from the PC in a standalone program.  Then you can trace the code
and see where the execution lags are.
