Jacopo,

Turbine is definitely a worthy solution and the peers methodology is SO much
easier to grasp then EJB's.   I've been busy with projects other than
Turbine lately, but I was successful in getting the Turbine demo application
(newapp) to work flawlessly with DB2/400.  I was also able to get Torque to
generate the peers AND the DB2/400 tables with zero modification on the
AS400 save for actually creating the database collection on the AS400 before
running Torque.  

Here is a run down of what I did to get Turbine/Peers/Torque to work for
DB2/400:

1. Create db2400 specific Torque stuff.
2. Create a Turbine DB adapter for DB2/400.
3. Had to modify the village api because it did some ResultMetaData checking
that did not work correctly for DB2/400 (isReadOnly always returns false).

If you would like, I can send you the result of my blood, sweat and tears ;)
in a zip if you want it.  It will put you ahead of the game in terms of
getting Turbine up and running with DB2/400.

To the Turbine Project leaders,

Would you consider this a worthy contribution to the Turbine project?  I am
newbie when it comes to using the CVS.  So far I've only used the CVS
(WinCVS as a client) to download source, never to upload.  So, if you
consider this DB2/400 stuff a worthy contrib, let me know.

Dear Scott,

at now I'm syuding the Turbine framework and I'm considering the possibility
to use DB2/400 as DBMS.
I've read from the turbine-user mail archive your messages about your work
on the Torque peer's implementation for DB2/400.

Since I don't know if you've managed to work with Turbine and DB2/400, my
question is:
do you still think that is a good idea/solution working with DB2/400 peers?
If so, could you give me some hints on developing this implementation (e.g.
the DB2 implementation is a good starting point, what are the main
differences between DB2 and DB2400 implementations?)?.

Thank you in advance!

Jacopo
