>I recently heard a rumour at our site about IBM not recommending >the use of java with DB2 on the mainframe....
Whoa, stop there. Did you ask your friend what drugs he's taking? :-) Once your friend sobers up, you might want to point him here: http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/solutions/editions/ws/index.html That's the official IBM Web site for the "System z Solution Edition for WebSphere." In that kit he'll find z/OS, DB2 for z/OS, and WebSphere Application Server for z/OS (and some nice tools). That kit is designed for one purpose only: to run Java with DB2 on the mainframe.(*) ....OK, I am officially declaring that, from now on, I am no longer responding to rumors, no matter how crazy, except if I have time to spare. (I rarely do.) Responding to rumors only encourages them, and if you believe everything you read in a forum then you should know that if you do not send me $10,000 immediately via Paypal your nose will turn into a pumpkin and remain that way for the rest of your life. You have been warned. (*) To be pedantic, there's no *requirement* that your Java application(s) access DB2. But most do. - - - - - Timothy Sipples Resident Enterprise Architect STG Value Creation & Complex Deals Team IBM Growth Markets (Based in Singapore) E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
