RE: ASP on AS/400

["Walden H. Leverich" <WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The other one is Instant ASP (iASP) by Halcyon (http://www.halcyonsoft.com/)
I've used iASP as a trial with Apache running locally on my W2K box and it
performed well, I only had to change my connection string because iASP
doesn't support OLE/DB, but ODBC. But I've not tried it on the AS/400.

The biggest problem I see with either of these tools (and there are probably
others) is that while they emulate the ASP environment in Java you still
don't have all the COM background stuff. Halcyon has a Java->ActiveX bridge
(RJAX) that appears to provide a bridge, but I can't imagine having Apache
on iSeries run an ASP page using iASP that opens a COM object using RJAX on
an W2K box that then opens a recordset via ADO that connection to the same
iSeries you started on, seems silly and VERY error prone. Besides, I don't
think RJAX is plug and play, I think you have to change the ASP, but I'm not
sure.

If you are trying to stay away from IIS I think you're probably ok with
these tools and Apache on W2K, but I don't think you can really port you ASP
to the iSereis w/o serious work. But then again, why would you want to?

Mark,

        I would look at http://www.chilisoft.com/ and there is another one
simular that should work as well, you may need to move to the Apache engine
from the HTTP server to really make it work.
