hi Gary,

If you go to this link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/appserver4rpg/files/appserver4rpg/

You'll see that there are separate folders for standalone and tomcat installations. If you click on one of those folders, there will be a ZIP file.

If you grab that ZIP file, it contains detailed installation instructions (in a file called install.txt) It also contains drivers for MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle and IBM i DB2, already included in the ZIP file....

I haven't installed it, myself (I just looked it up based on your question) but it looks like it has everything you're looking for, all in that .ZIP file.

I am planning my first attempt to install ArdGate on system i at v7r1m0

So far I have:
1) an MC Press article by Chris Smith
2) an RPGIV @ Work article by Chamara Withanachchi
3) other stuff gathered from web searches, etc
4) downloaded AppServer4RPG.jar from SourceForge.net
5) copied the .jar file to the IFS on system i

My current goal is to install ArdGate as a standalone Java application
and avoid the need to run WebSphere or Tomcat.

From a midrange.com post by Mihael Schmidt, Dieter Bender describes
three install steps:

- install ArdGate ....

- add the JDBC database to the remote database directory

- install the JDBC driver archive to ArdGate and provide url and driver
class

With my near total lack of Java experience, these three steps are pretty
mysterious, but here is what I think:

A) I need a copy of an RPG program named JDBCGATE.

B) I need to know more about the "configuration of ArdGate".

It seems there is a configuration file to be updated to:

B1) identify the database (MySql, Oracle, Sql Server)

B2) locate the JDBC driver for the db identified in B1

C) I need more detail about handling classpath settings.

I have learned a little about classpath from Scott Klement's RPG
examples.
