I have been trying to get Jboss 2.4.4 + Tomcat 3.2.3 version running on an IBM mainframe z/OS system.

I have had some success, in that I can get it to start up and deploy tomcat-test.ear without any java exceptions being displayed.

There is definitely a server talking because I see the ports open and if I connect to port 8080, I receive a nicely formatted 404 error.

If I connect to port 8082, I receive a browser window full of garbage, however if I look at that garbage in hex, it is actually the "Agent View" page, but encoded in EBCDIC. Everything is in EBCDIC, including the "HTTP/1.0 200" header and the entire Agent View page.

This is so close but yet so far. Can anybody help me solve this?

Sorry I am using an older distribution, but I have this version running on other systems and therefore I want to compare apples to apples. But not EBCDIC apples!

THANKS in advance.
