Guten Abend!

The recent "Apache/iX question" thread mentioned my old paper on
Jazz with a few tips how to make a COBOL/iX program (for example)
work in the CGI context to create "on the fly web pages"...

If you'd like to see how a similar example looks like when using
Java Servlet technology, you can find another "paper" on Jazz now;
surf to "Freeware" and then to "Java" for the details...

In a mini-nutshell, it was pretty interesting for me to play with
a trial version of Java Web Server from Sun (on MPE/iX, of course)
and learn about servlet technology as an alternative for CGI. And
it was quite pleasant to find out that the freeware JServ servlet
engine for Apache can be compiled, linked and integrated with next
to zero porting effort.

Check out Jazz for the details. I was really pleasantly surprised.

Cheerio from Germany.
Have a nice weekend.

(this Java thingy will probably make Posix porters lose a hobby ;-)
