According to the most recent announcements, ZAAP can also be used for XML processing for COBOL. But AFAIK the ZAAP does not have any direct contact with the IP stack. Since a typical web application would be HTTPServer->WAS->DB2. IP communication would be reduced if WAS->DB2 were using the RRSAF. I am pretty sure that the RRSAF/DB2 connection is not eligible for ZAAP/ZIIP off-load.
You might consider looking thru some of the techdocs search for zaap, java or websphere. For example http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/5cb5ed706d254a8186256c71006d2e0a/2140bdb5b560c10f86257322005feb47/$FILE/zAAP_White_Paper_V1_6.pdf ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/mktsupport/techdocs/every_zaap_v4.pdf (watch the wrap) Rob Schramm Sirius Computer Solutions <snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
