Re: Does jBoss work on iSeries?

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

One problem is that the AS/400 specific things like connection pooling
are very difficult to go on your own without Websphere, which was one of
Ivan's requirements. I spent about a week going the J2ee route and
configuring pooling on the iSeries. I was unhappy with the complexity
overhead, and it was difficult to monitor and test. This is likely much
easier with WebSphere as your but in my opinion pooling is so basic it
shouldn't take JNDI, dozens of classes, and hundreds of lines of code to
do what something like proxool does so elegantly in two lines of code.
