Good point, especially if you are on SW Subscription.

Mark,

If your already paying for WAS 4.0, I cant believe that you have to pay to
upgrade to WAS 5.0, surely you only pay for additional installs

Cheers

As fas as I know, WebFacing still supports WAS 4.0.  When you create the 
WebFacing project you simply have to inidcate that you want to create a 
J2EE 1.2 project, as opposed to 1.3.  There is also some configuration 
changes you have to make on the WAS server, it is just a simple change to 
tell it to use a certain character encoding.  In WAS 5.0, they are able to 

use the J2EE 1.3 feature of filters to do this programmatically without 
configuring the server.

To answer your other question, there was a time that has now expired, that 

IBM would let you upgrade from the free WAS 3.5 Standard Edition to WAS 
5.0 Express.  If you have no need for EJB's in WAS 4.0, you might be able 
to twist the right arms at IBM to get a similar upgrade.  Otherwise, WAS 
Express is $2500, although I think they also have a per user option of 
like $50/user.

[WDSCI-L] WAS server - Free or chargeable?






A coworker is working on a web facing project (WDSc 5.0.1) and has 
discovered that our WAS server version is 4.0 and web facing won't work 
with this version of the WAS server.  Our operations department is telling 

us that IBM wants to charge for the current version of the WAS server.

My question is this, those of you that are using web facing, is there a 
no-charge WAS server or did you have to pay to upgrade to the 5.0 version? 

 If there is a no-charge server how do we get it?
