This article documents iSign for the IBM i.

Install Tomcat on the IBM i

Follow these instructions IBM Tomcat Instructions, but install Tomcat 5 ( at least at this time ).

You will need to make these changes as well (adjusting paths for your particular java version and installation):

ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(JAVA_HOME) VALUE(' /qibm/ProdData/Java400/jdk15') LEVEL(*SYS)
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(JAVA_OPTS) VALUE('-Djava.awt.headless=true') LEVEL(*SYS)
-          Change security for  Tomcat folder:
CHGAUT OBJ('<>') USER(*PUBLIC) DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL) SUBTREE(*ALL)

and will then start Tomcat using SBMJOB:

SBMJOB CMD(STRQSH CMD('/www/apache-tomcat-5.5.36/bin/startup.sh')) JOB(TOM CATSVR) JOBQ(QTXTSRCH)
