Is there a JDBC driver available for Texis? If not, then is there another recommended way to utilize Texis as a RDMS in a n-tier environment, preferably on a UNIX plaform?

What does n-tier mean in your context?

As a general rule of thumb, I am trying to encapsulate data, business logic, and presentation into seperate conceptual layers.

In my mind, Texis represents the data layer. I would like to use EJB/JSP to fulfill the middle tier and presentation layers.

Thanks.

JDBC is supported by Texis under Wintel only. Its a bad protocol to use for web apps anyway. A better alternative is RPC/XML or a SOAPish thing using Vortex as a back end.

This should be enough detail, but if you need more I'll elaborate.
