Come on, I know you are out there! Seriously, if you use ColdFusion MX to connect to DB2 on an IBM AS400 (now called iSeries), I'd like to hear from you. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing your experiences. What database driver(s) do you use (JTOpem, DB2Connect, HIT, DiataDirect, etc). I'm also interested in hearing whether anyone has been able to get the DB2 driver that ships with CF MX to connect to DB2 for iSeries V5R2. The DataDirect docs state that it's supported, but I've been unable to get it to work.

Also, if you've actually gotten CF MX for J2EE to run on an iSeries Linux partition, I'd be interested in talking as well. IBM told me they know of one Macromedia customer who successfully did this, and it seems totally possible to me.

Feel free to contact me via the comments section of the blog, or directly at my email address (rbils@amkor.com).
