I am currently researching the implementation of HTML clients into my environment and I am looking for information from anyone who has already implemented it or is familiar with this delivery method. I have found lots of information on this topic, but none complete, and much that contradicts itself...so your real world answers would be helpful.
My Current environment looks like:
Enterprise Server: AS/400; V4R5, SP15.1
Deployment Server: NT4.0, SP6a, SQL7, houses Central Objects.
Clients: Update2; an assortment FAT clients and WTS with MetaFrame 1.8.
For inquiry users, I have been asked to research HTML (not JAVA). From what I have seen, I will need to have a JAVA server to run Edwards code, and a webserver to deliver HTML to the clients. As I understand it, I can have these servers on the same box, but I think I would prefer to have them on two serparate. Because I understand that JAVA requires more resources on the enterprise server than FAT clients, I have also considered adding a new NT Application Server to assist in batch processing.
Any comments on this setup will be appreciated. Do I have the right idea? Should serialized objects (not even sure what they are) go on my SQL7 Deployment Server? Generally speaking, what software will I need to have installed on which machines? (i.e. does WebSphere need to be on Enterprise, JAS, and Web server, or just one/couple?)
Thanks in advance for you help.
