While I cannot comment on the White Paper you mentioned (hey, sometimes
even *I* seem to be able to resist a temptation :-) you can find some
example Java servlets on Jazz, one of them doing JDBC access to MusicDBE
from the imsql.sampledb.sys example database.

If you'd like to pull a Java Web Server trial from Sun's web site to plug
these example servlets into, I'd be happy to share snippets of a session
trace that I took when setting it up on my crash & burn 3000 recently.

Have played with Java servlets on MPE/iX for a few days now (not 8 hrs/day)
and must say that I am delighted. Especially on the ease of database access
via JDBC. For example, by declaring a servlet "implements SingleThreadModel"
you can get the servlet engine maintain a pool of servlet instances to keep
each instance from having to be thread safe. You can easily see the servlet
pool by looking at DBUTIL SHOW db USERS... multiple concurrent connections.
