by Brian W. Kelly Book Description IBM's new WebSphere Application Server - Express for iSeries is the must-have server of all their dynamic Web application offerings. Building on the success of previous WAS versions; IBM now offers a platform that enables iSeries implementers to enjoy the benefits of bringing applications to the Web. And we're talking about the whole gamut of applications including RPG and COBOL...not just Java and XML! But there's one small issue: Your WAS - Express server must run before you can deploy these applications. That's where this helpful guide comes in, as your tool for the successful installation and use of WAS - Express. Author Brian Kelly designed this book as the companion to all your WAS - Express efforts within the iSeries environment. His learning-friendly approach and iSeries point of view--along with numerous hints and tips throughout--insure a smooth and successful installation, while providing the guidance necessary to move your applications onto the exciting new WebSphere Express platform.
