Answers to your questions are as follows:

1. To get Apache to run jsp (java server pages) and/or java servlets,
install and configure a software called "Jakarta Tomcat". This is a servlet
container with plug ins to Apache. It's one of the better servlet containers
around. 

If you have never installed Tomcat, you should get a copy of the book
"Professional Apache Tomcat" by Wrox Press, because without instructions
it's a confusing and complicated process.

2. An appropriate database for a Java application server would be ... Take
your pick of Oracle, MySQL, Postgresql.

3. To make an odbc connection from Java, this gets back to the Tomcat
installation. The Tomcat installation comes with a "jdbc:odbc" connector.
Follow the instructions to set it up while you set up the tomcat
installation.

Note: if you want to access a Microsoft Access database (.mdb), the database
must reside on a Microsoft Windows server, and the Tomcat installation must
be configured to point to this server. The reason is that there does not
exist any MS Access engines for Linux, which means you cannot serve the
Access database from a Linux machine.

Hi Group,

I am trying to understand as to how to go about migrating from Windows to
Linux for known reasons.
1)      How do I make an ODBC connection in Red Hat Linux 7.1 ?
Can anyone help me out with this...
2)      What would be the appropriate database for a Java based application
server ?
3)      Any filters available for the Apache Web Server to use Java Scripts?

Thanks a lot for those replies that are to come to my rescue. Jeen
