Hi all, I would like to ask for some help. I intend to use Netrexx to run as CGI on IBM Http server. I'm trying to use netrexx on my workstation (WINXP). I already installed Netrexx and am able to compile. Now I have installed IBM Http Server 1.3.28.1, but need some assistance to configure it quickly to begin some tests. Can anybody help me to do the basic config ? Thanks in advance Patrick Leroy |
Hi Rene, Thanks for responding. We exchanged some emails 1 or 2 years ago, about that same question. At that time my application run on OS/390 and I was trying to convert it. In the mean time I didn't continue on that project. Now the application doesn't run because new version of java (CGIs not allowed) on Z/OS 1.4. Without time to study and convert it to JSP (Z/OS), I was now trying a simple temporary solution (I think), port it to a TEC server where we have an http server and java CGIs seams to run. My idea was install Http server (done) and Netrexx (done), and test it on my workstation, without having to change too much code. If it runs ok, then I was intending to port it to the T/EC server, just to have it running for some weeks, while I think about a definitive solution. I see that we have in that server WebSphere too (but don't know anything about it). Would it be simpler to port my application to websphere ? Thanks again Patrick Leroy

CGI is a lot of work and not your best option performance-wise. If you try Tomcat (or, being an IBMmer, WebSphere) you will find that all your server side programming using the aforementioned technologies can be done using NetRexx. Java Servlets are already a lot easier than CGI, because a lot of the work is already done for you. JSP could also be your next step; that does a lot of work that you still need to do in Servlets. I am switching to JSF for the Model-View-Controller approach. best regards, Rene Vincent Jansen. |
