Re: netbeans & tomcat

Hi Brian,

Well, there have always been good reasons to run your app/web server on
a separate box, even if you were using WebSphere.

On the upside for the '400, on my current project ( Glassfish running
against AS/400 database, ) I'm using some of the SQL 2003 capabilitiess DB2
supports, as well as UTF-8 in anticipation of some other languages coming
in.

The project involves product costing against bills of material with effective date prices, UOM conversions, and a slew of challenges, but fun. Even better, the client was using Access and Excel, and now they're getting revved about Java and the AS/400. Not to mention that they will have a coherent pricing model...

So, do you do the scientific stuff on the AS/400 as well, or is that on
other boxes/languages? If this gets boring to others on list, we can move
elsewhere or quit.

I also develop against Glassfish (using netbeans). We still use WAS on
the i as our production server, but I'm planning on moving some of our
apps over to Glassfish on Linux.

To think I used to be so happy developing with WDSC / WAS. IBM pretty
much pushed me into Sun's eager arms...
