IBM has announced that they are no longer offering support for Tomcat but
remember, the only version they supported was a very old version
(3.something or other, maybe an early 4 version) that they had removed
functionality from to make WebSphere Express look better feature-wise.
Tomcat is a pure Java program so as long as a standards compliant JDK is
provided, there shouldn't be any problem running it.
Last time I looked, the latest version of the connector (which is what I'm
assuming is meant by 'handlers') doesn't run on i/OS (I think it gets an
error when the server starts) but unless you are using several Tomcat
instances to do load balancing, you can set up the proxy server to do the
same thing.
As far as not supporting 'Apache' goes, you need to be very, very careful
about what you mean (and what the reader may think you mean) since it a
generic name for a lot of things. If you are thinking of the HTTP server,
than to the best of my knowledge, that is wrong. The Apache HTTP server is
supported and I haven't seen anything to suggest that they are switching
to something else. IBM did drop support for the original HTTP server a few
releases ago (V5R3?) but that was never based on anything that came out of
the Apache Software Foundation.

subject: Re: Tomcat support on V6R1
Just a clarification:
I am running a Rails app using the Glassfish 3 gem. My attempt to
deploy Glassfish on i directly (well, in PASE) resulted in a stacktrace
that Sun is (supposedly) checking into. Probably need to rattle their
cage to find out what the deal is.
I am not familiar with using 'handlers' to run server jobs but I do know
that Tomcat runs fine on 7.1. IBM has been phasing out support for
*their* version of Tomcat for quite some time, haven't they, just like
they did with Apache?

I couldn't get V3 it to run. I got some jargon that printed out when
attempting to start it. I think Pete Helgren got Glassfish V2 running
with Ruby on Rails.
As long as you go with WebSphere 7, it's actually not that bad. They
seemed to stick to the standards a little better with that version. I
haven't used it much except for testing. I'm unfortunately stuck at
WebSphere 6.1 which I'm battling now.

supported on iSeries (there will be no 'handlers' to run a server jobs)
Should we all get ready to migrate to Websphere? :-(
