Re: apache tomcat v9 running on iseries 7.3

Pete,

Thanks for the info.

You mentioned it wont run on 7.3. Do you know why? We are currently on 7.3 with the following jvm installed and would like to try to go to 9. Im guessing if you are having issue with 8 on 7.3, them im guessing going 9 will be out.

5770JV1    14      Java SE 7 32 bit
5770JV1    15      Java SE 7 64 bit
5770JV1    16      Java SE 8 32 bit
5770JV1    17      Java SE 8 64 bit

I saw that Oracle will being charging license fees for its run-time. Im not sure how this will affect our shop.

Tim,

I just did a quick test on my 7.2 box (alas....it won't run 7.3....)  In any case I just unzipped the files to my /Apache/Tomcat folder in the IFS where all my other tomcat instances live.  I changed server.xml ports because I have 6 instances of tomcat running (v5-9 now...) I changed the catalina.sh script by adding this:

# Java 8 settings if needed
export JAVA_HOME=/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdk80/32bit/jre
export CATALINA_HOME=/Apache/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.10
export JAVA_OPTS="-Dos400.awt.native=true -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.version=1.8 -Xms512m -Xmx1024m"

And changed the OS Specific support:

os400=true

Then it fired right up.  No problems at all.  Tomcat welcome page at 10.0.10.205:11080 as I defined it.
