How can I find which application server is available for C/C++ on Unix AIX 5.3?

Welcome to TSF!!

Hi,

I would recommend that you try doing a google search for " C/C++ applications server on UNIX AIX" and see what you come up with as answers. I don't really have much experience with that so that is where I would start.

Cheers!

I'm not really sure what you're looking for. Are you saying you want one that will compile with the C or C++ compilers on AIX 5.3? You could try looking at this page on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari...cation_servers

Thanks Shuuhen....I am also confused what I am looking for :-( As far as compilation is concerned then definitly application server is not required but when we we execute a simple C/C++ program (example only pritf function in program) do we have to have application server is in place? What is the significance of application server to run simple C/C++ program?

My understanding is " when C/C++ program uses the services of third party services (tuxedo,Tibco, any middleware) then only application server wrt that third party should be in place". Am I right or wrong? If right then which application server is running how can I find on Unix?


"Application server provides methods that client applications can call i.e. serves business logic to application programs through any number of protocols.

That would only be for programs designed to use special services. On a Unix-like operating system, I'd generally expect a program to state what it requires in either an INSTALL or README file (yes, often all capitals). You may be thinking of libraries, but if the program compiles correctly you should have all the libraries in place.

Software involving service-oriented architecture (SOA) servers to be in place should say in their manual or README. I haven't really done programming involving these, but some examples are Delicious Monster (Mac program) and Amarok. Delicious Monster is a program to catalog DVDs, books and music. It uses Amazon's services to pull data for a particular product. Amarok is a music player, similar to iTunes. It uses various services to pull album artwork. Neither require me to set up application servers or anything special. You may find a program that does require an extra application server to be running, but it should say in the manual or README. Before expecting a program to require setting up an extra server, I'd expect something more along the lines of needing to configure the program that uses the services to point to a server already running.
