The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Tomcat is pretty much load and go without setup. Can't say that for
WAS :-)
Plus Tomcat is open source, so it's much less expensive to get into.

For the level of functionality that you get from Tomcat, WAS doesn't
require that much configuration, especially on the i. Bring up the
admin console, create a new application server, and you can start
importing your WAR files. And for the budget conscious, WAS CE is free
and is based on Geronimo, which is a pretty slick application server.
Application servers are not for everyone (Tomcat is a web container, not
an application server). But I will say this - now that I've learned how
to use them, I really, really like EAR files. The ability to configure
enterprise-level things like security and database connections at the
EAR level and then plug in applications with WAR files is pretty sweet.
In a lot of ways, an application server provides for web applications
what IBM i provides for business developers - a robust framework for
basic enterprise functions like messaging, security and database.
