Re: http/servlets -- JAVA400-L

In answer to Q4, Tomcat is a perfectly viable option for non-EJB
applications.  It is particularly suited to smaller, older AS/400 models
(e.g. Model 170, Model 270),  since it does not use as many system
resources as WebSphere.  (Even for EJB applications, JBoss may serve you
as well as WebSphere, if you have the patience and expertise to
configure it.)
You can run Tomcat in stand-alone mode on iSeries; see the excellent
article by David Morris at 
http://www.midrangeserver.com/mpo/mpo021402-story02.html
I followed this article to the letter and successfully set up Tomcat in
stand-alone mode (be sure to compile and optimzie the jar files packaged
with Tomcat for better performance, as Morris suggests).

Hello,
I have a few question that hopefully someone can help with.

Q1) Are there any recommended guidelines for the httpd.conf files for
Apache
http servers on the iSeries? 

Q2) Is:
 AllowOverride None
a valid directive on the iSeries and can it be set through the GUI? 

Q3) Are the access and log files automatically deleted by Apache on
iSeries when
the LogMaint directive is set?

Q4) To deploy a basic java servlet/jsp application on the iSeries would
Tomcat
be a viable option? 
The app is Intranet only with a small number of users, no EJB
processing. What
would the reasons be to run servlets on Tomcat In-process versus
Out-of-process?
(I have created a servlet in a test environment and have it running as
In-process Tomcat at the moment, the initial load seemed slow, but
apart from
that it seems fine.)

Thanks in advance,
Pat
