RE: Supported Web Pages on v5r3 Apache Server

Mike,

Apache on iSeries (like any other platform) is very good at sending back
static content. For many of the things you listed Apache basically
passes the request off to the right server to generate content, and
Apache then sends that content back to the client. If you can store the
content in a file, Apache on iSeries can send it back. 

So, the question becomes, which of the technologies you list are
supported on iSeries:

>Standard HTML
Sure. It's just text.

>HTML JavaScript
Again, it's really just text. JavaScript is a client-side thing, as far
as the server is concerned it's just text.

>XML
Well... Sure. It's just text. But you probably mean dynamically created
XML. Yes, that can be done, via Java or RPG or Cobol or Net.Data or...

>Java
With an application server (WebSphere, Tomcat, etc.) sure.

>ColdFusion
In theory CF will run in a web app server, so it could, again in theory,
run on WebSphere on iSeries. However, I've never heard of anyone even
trying it, and I don't believe it's a "supported" platform from
Macromedia.

>PHP
I believe there's been recent talk/announcements about PHP on iSeries.
I'm not following them.

>ASP JavaScript
>ASP VBScript
>ASP .Net C#
>ASP .Net VB
Short answer, no. There are some 3rd party products which claim to host
ASP in a java app server, but IMHO, they had many limitations, and I'm
not aware of any for .NET. Now, it might be possible to deploy Mono on
iSeries and host .NET apps that way, I don't know of anyone that's
tried. As a general rule, if you're using ASP you're running on windows.

>JSP
Sure -- same as Java -- just need a app server.

>CSS
CSS is a client-side technology. Apache will serve it just fine, it's
just text.

What are you looking for? I don't understand this question.

I don't know if this got rejected since I was not a subscriber to this
list yet or not:

What are the official Supported Web Pages on v5r3 Apache Server?
