I am not up to speed with LINUX/390 myself. I am actually installing a vendor product under Linux/390 (EOS from RSD). The pre-reqs include the JDK and a choice of Webshere or Tomcat. Tomcat is free and Websphere is not. We currently already run EOS under Webshere under USS- to answer the other question.someone brought up.. The USS support guys work in our same team. There is a Civil War brewing as we are moving a product from USS to Linux/390 (not really). This is also the case with another homegrown java application. We are just starting to trial LINUX/390 and are looking for some test cases. Since the USS guys work with us they are helpful in trying some things. We really want to move some Weblogic servers off of SUN servers but that's political. We are using the other apps to learn about LINUX/390 and get used to the processes. We are newbies to Linux and old timers to VM.
