[BOBC@xxxxxxxxxx]

Patrick,

Tomcat is the V5R1 Admin Servlet Engine, it is the Admin engine for iSeries
Connect and other IBM products.

I hope you are correct on that.  I'm banking on it.  Tomcat is a great
application server and the price is just right!  I prefer it
over Websphere for deploying servlets many times over.

Thanx, PLA

Tomcat is NOT a LPP, it is bundled withf 57xx-DG1, the HTTP Server.  It is
extremely unlikely that Tomcat will ever be dropped.  As a matter of fact,
expect to see more support for Tomcat and perhaps see Websphere integrate
more of Tomcat into its architecture where it comes to servlet and jsp
processing.  IBM is a major participant in Apache.org and contributes major
funding to their projects as well as developers...
