Re: Consumer Based Web Development

Actually I didn't know that about Java support. We are at Java 5 now anyway
since WAS 6.1 supports it. I can't even imagine now living without generics
:-)

I know enough about PASE to write scripts and I've done some scp before. I'm
comfortable in using it, just not installing on it :-)

We could install Java 6. It's available on 5.4 and 6.1 which most of our
customers are on. I would like to move to it anyway since Java SE 5 (at
least Sun's implementation) is EOL.

Java for Business supports it for as long as people wants to pay (Thanks
to Oracle for that one, I believe - something about some Bea product
requiring 1.4).

The hard upgrade is from 1.4 to 5, and moving to generics. Going from 5
to 6 is getting a ton of functionality through annotations and built in
functionality.

I generated a web service client for java 6 from a WSDL in a 26 kb jar.
That's power.

I haven't tried to install GlassFish at all. I assume it would have to

use

PASE and that is not my strong point. I should just try it though and see
what happens. We have a development box at 6.1 and it has Java SE 6
installed.

PASE is just AIX with another name :) WRKLNK to the rescue!
