I am not an AS400 (or even Mainframe) whiz by any means. My first instinct was that you would use JCA (Java Connectivity Architecture) in this situation. Am I completely off the mark? Where would you use JCA?
Many thanks, Fintan -----Original Message----- From: Blair Wyman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 17 January 2003 00:08 To: JDJList Subject: [jdjlist] Re: Some Information on JAVA-AS400 Good point, but with the modern iSeries/AS400 boxen there is also the (arguably attractive) alternative of LPARing the system and dedicating some fraction of a processor to a Linux partition running the firewall. Solid, reliable Linux fronting solid, reliable AS400 -- all on one box. And, with the Tomcat right on the iSeries -- instead of on a PC -- the JDBC interoperability will be much "tighter." (When the toolbox detects it's running "native," it uses shared memory instead of IP traffic.) And running native on the iSeries offers the alternative of using the native JDBC driver, which is optimized for same-box use. Now, I'm not anti-PC -- I'm writing this on a PC, fer cryin' out loud -- but sometimes they don't make sense. I mean, why pay to maintain a PC, with all its attendant headaches (separate backup, additional machine room footprint/power, assorted futz-factors, etc.) when it just isn't necessary any more? (OK, it might be cheaper in the short run, but so is continuing to drive on a badly worn tire... ;-) Just another thought. I'm out for today. :-) On Thursday, 01/16/2003 at 10:18 PST, Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > True, but in some cases the client wants to avoid opening up the > AS400 to the world, so uses a Windows/Linux/Unix box in the DMZ > to front the AS400. > > Dave Jones > NetEffect ____________________________________________________ To change your JDJList options, please visit: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm Be respectful!
