What is WebSphere Application Server?
A. WebSphere Application Server (WAS) is IBM’s cross-platform HTTP add-on that provides a secure, transaction-based Web development engine. WAS is a Java-based application server that implements server-side Java solutions such as Java servlets, Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) and JavaServer Pages. WAS is evolving as the linchpin in IBM’s Java initiative. Not only is WAS cross-platform, but it also provides all the services needed to build scalable, secure transaction-oriented Web applications. WAS is turning out to be the key element in Java’s success on the AS/400.
