I've been running Orion very successfully for a few years now. While most of our installations run on some flavor of Linux or Windows, I have run Orion on the iSeries including EJB, JMS, etc. Usually we just end up running our application server on another platform because of the cost difference (of CPU and RAM) between the iseries and other servers. In my experience, you need a much larger iseries to run an application server very successfully, the more RAM the better (which I guess is true of any Java application). I've run Jboss as well, but with the low cost of Orion I would definitely check it out. I'd run Orion even if IBM was giving Websphere away.

Has anyone successfully run an appserver, other than WebSphere, on the AS/400/iSeries? I see from the archives that there has been some use of JBoss -- indeed we have made some attempts in that area; but it's not clear to me whether anyone has used the full J2EE suite: EJBs, JMS, JCA resource adaptors, and so on. As well as JBoss, I gather that Orion (http://www.orionserver.com/) may be an option. I'd be interested to hear of any experience anyone has had (of these or any others). As a bit of background, we are a software house, and we are in the process of redeveloping one of our applications to take advantage of J2EE technologies. As we have a large AS/400 and iSeries client base, obviously we intend to include WebSphere as one of the platforms we target. However, we are concerned that WebSphere may push the price up over what our smaller clients will be willing to pay, and so want to consider possible alternatives. Thanks in advance.
