RE: Does jBoss work on iSeries?

[Ivan Hurtado <iva030@xxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

I am in the infancy stage with this design, so I can
go in any direction. Using EJB is the major decision I
am still grapling with. I understand what you are
saying about using JDO for data access, however, what
about all the other system level functionality that an
EJB server/container provides... i.e. the connection
pooling, thread mgmt, session/state mgmt, etc? I'd
rather not code any of that.
