Apache HTTP Server 2.2.3

Product Description

Apache Tomcat is a web container developed at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Tomcat implements the servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications from Sun Microsystems, providing an environment for Java code to run in cooperation with a web server. It adds tools for configuration and management but can also be configured by editing configuration files that are normally XML-formatted. Tomcat includes its own HTTP server internally.

Information Builders Web390 3.3

Product Description

Web390 is the HTTP/HTTPS server that transforms an IBM S/390 into a World Wide Web. Web390 provides a secure gateway to existing 3270-based applications running under MVS/TSO, CICS or VM/CMS, giving Web browser users immediate access to the legacy applications and data that support day-to-day commercial operations. Users have a choice of screen presentation modes, to customize the look and feel of the application to their specific tastes. Users can also be given protected access to all datasets allocated in the S/390 environment and application developers can write CGI (Common Gateway Interface) programs in traditional S/390 languages to accept and process input from Web browsers. With Web390, you can reuse your existing data access code, written in COBOL, PL1, or Assembler, to publish operational data directly on the web.
