Hosting Windows applications on an AIX server

[parikrama]

I have a windows based web application that needs to be loaded on to a server. The currently available server is AIX. The web application is written in JSP & Struts. I have 3 questions regarding this:
1. Will I be able to host this application on the AIX server if it has a WIN32 partition.
2. Will I have to host it separately on a Windows server.
3. Can this application be hosted on a Linux server with WIN32 partition.


Thanks

You shouldn't even need a "Win32" partition. Once more; File systems do not matter one bit when networking. The operating system hosts the files - not the hard drive.

Networked appications are still just files stored on a server. The clients register the programs from the shared folder. As long as the folder is available, the programs will work.

Here are the specs for the server which might be hosting this web-application.

Server IBM Power5 ( i570)
Operating System AIX 5.3 64 Bit
Assigned Memory for AIX 2GB scalable to 4GB Capped
Number of partitions on the server 6
Hosting partition for OS for AIX OS400

Also this web application will need the installation of Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software (IBM)..
Can this web application that has been designed still run on the AIX server, with the installation of Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software

Thanks
