Tuxedo and tomcat/weblogic

Question

Hi all,
We developed a system that used tuxedo server to handle DB transactions at around 1997, that client now requests an upgrade to allow web based access to the DB.
There is one major concern about whether we should use Apache/Tomcat or Weblogic. Anyone knows about the interoperability between Tuxedo and Apache/Tomcat and Weblogic?
Moreover, since the installed Tuxedo is an old version, do we need to upgrade the Tuxedo server, what sort of impact to the existing system if we do that?
Thanks very much.
Joey

Hello Joey,
I would suggest that you use BEA WebLogic Server to provide a web interface to
your Tuxedo application. BEA has an API called "Jolt", which allows you to provide
a Java-based interface (via Servlets/JSP, etc.) to your Tuxedo application. I
am not familiar with how Tuxedo works with Apache/Tomcat, but I can assure you
that you will have a lot more support and features if you go with BEA's various
APIs and tools. Refer to the following links for more information:

http://e-docs.bea.com/tuxedo/tux81/jdg/dvintro.htm

Also, there is a newsgroup dedicated to BEA Tuxedo.
Best regards,
