help to get started on WebSphere 3.5

[Jo...@kp.org]

I have to generate PDF letters files. To do that I have decided to use FOP 
files as letter templates supplying
variables(name, address...) via XML. It is going to be a batch job, 
running "main" method developing
with Visual Age, WebSphere 3.5. Is anyone has examples?
Most importantly, I have no idea what libraries to download, where to 
install and how to configure.
Please, help.

You are asking for something big. Moreover, i can't
quite figure out what your actual requirements are.

The easiest way seems to be to contact your friendly
IBM support.
Other than that it would be useful to know:
1. How much experience do you have in running WebSphere
  and deploying code for WebSphere?
2. How much experience do you have in Java programming
  in general and in servlet/JSP stuff in particular?
3. How extensive have you already dealt with XML stuff?
4. How much experience do you have in developing
  XSLT/XSLFO?
5. How much experience do you have in running FOP?
6. What do you mean by "batch job"? Conventionally
  this is not used in assiciation with a web application
  server.
