[TOMCAT on z/OS Mainframe]

[Ur...@ncci.com]

I have researched the entries in the database trying to figure out how to
run TOMCAT on our Mainframe.
Background:
I have been running zOS/USS (Unix Services) with Apache on our s390
mainframe.  JAR's and applets are properly serviced to the client.
Then I added Tomcat 2.1.4 (latest CVS) after upgrading Java on the
Mainframe to latest release (April 2003).
I set up everything in binary including the web.xml and the server.xml.
The reason is that Tomcat would not even come up because the parser could
not understand EBCDIC.
Now that it is reading the ***.xml files, it is trying to find path and
classes based on the ASCII value which the Mainframe does not understand so
I get error messages (threw exception) on the ASCII value (which if
translated to EBCDIC is correct except fo ASCII space (x'20') that are
being changed somehow to hex x'4B').

One of the solutions suggested in the historical archivals of this list is
to use encoding="ebcdic-_of_the_machine" in every xml file.
Does anybody have a cookbook on how to set up Tomcat under zOS?
