Servlet Engine for Domino 7

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

We are looking to migrate some forms from Domino 5 to Domino 7. At the moment they are using IBM Websphere for servlet interactions but we would like to see if R7 has a production ready servlet engine that we could use instead of install websphere. Hopefully saving a license cost too.

My question(s) is

  • does R7 come with a production ready servlet engine?

  • is using websphere the standard way to do this (considering it’s all IBM anyway)

  • is there any info on the web regarding the R7 servlet engine?

Your help is appreciated.

Cheers

I’ve written many servlets using the Domino servlet engine. It’s definitely not J2EE-level like you would find in WAS, but it works pretty well for run of the mill stuff. I’ve used it with Oracle using JDBC:ODBC bridge and never had any issues with performance or impact on the rest of the server (which serves both standard client apps as well as Domino web apps).

  1. Same as Domino 52. Yes. The license is included with the Domino license.

  2. Probably, but as it’s the same as in 5, don’t expect to much.
