I agree with Bill. If intend to invoke transactions on AS/400 or Mainframe, then you need a messaging middleware which would bridge the communication protocol between your Java Application Server and the legacy system (AS/400 or 390) . IBM MQ Series is definitely an good option. The product MQSI (MQSeries Integrator) helps you in data format conversion. Moreover Visual Age for Java has plugins like Enterprise Access Builder which helps you to create Java records using mainframe data structures. If you are working on development of large enterprise application then definitely you would need these tool/softwares/API's. Best. Mohanpreet

If only the database, it is just the matter that you have to find the right JDBC driver to As/400. But if you meant the programs on As/400, you have to set up some middleware to handle the messages. The best choice that I think is MQSeries. It is very reliable and fast. Also it has java API that you can directly talk to. I think you should consider it, Best of luck.

Now I have some more details o the requirement. the client does not want to use IBM websphere. They are planning to use Jakarta-Tomcat server to hoist the web application consisting of Java server pages which, should talk to As/400 system to handle data. Are there any APIs avilable which will take care of the calls made from my JSP/Java classes to conect and handle data on an As/400 machine? Thanks, veni. --- Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Veni, > A good place to start is the IBM Toolbox for Java > <http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/toolbox/>. > I've > used it to develop a number of Windows-based Java > apps (Tomcat) > to front-end an AS/400. > > If you provide more details on your situation, we > might be able > to provide more specific info. > > Dave Jones > NetEffect > > > At 11:49 PM 1/7/03 -0800, you wrote: > >Hi all, > > > >Badly in need of some information on Integrating or > >regarding connectivity between AS400 system and a > web > >based Java application. > >Any documents, links/URLs will be of great help! > > > >Thanks in Advance, > >Veni. > > > >__________________________________________________ > >Do you Yahoo!? > >Yahoo!
