Operating System/400, 5769-SS1
• Database using JDBC driver.
• Database using Record-Level file access using the interface of the classes.
• Integrated file system.
• Programs: Any AS/400 program can be called, parameters are passed to the AS/400
program, and data is returned to the Java program.
• Commands: Any AS/400 batch command that is not interactive can be run.
• Data Queues: Access to both keyed and sequential data queues.
• Print: Using the print classes lists of spooled files, output queues printers, and other
print resources can be retrieved.
• User spaces: Create, read from, write to, and delete AS/400 user spaces.
• Digital Certificates: Manage digital certificates stored on the AS/400 system.
• Jobs: List active jobs on the AS/400 and retrieve information about those jobs,
including the messages in the job log of a job.
• Message Queues: List, delete, and answer messages in a message queue. The ability
to send messages is also provided.
• Users: List users on the AS/400 system and retrieve information about those users.
Additional classes provide the infrastructure needed to manage signon information, create
and maintain sockets connections to the AS/400 services, and send and receive data. Data
description classes for numeric and character data are provided to allow the Java program to
describe the record format of a buffer of data with an object.
The Toolbox provides a set of Graphical Access classes. These classes use the access
classes described previously to retrieve data, and then present the data to the user. The
classes use Java's Swing 1.0 (JFC 1.1) framework. Graphical APIs are available to access
various AS/400 resources, such as the database, integrated file system, command call, and
data queues. The AS/400 data is then displayed in various pane formats.
Toolbox for Java V4R5 Enhancements
In V4R5, AS/400 Toolbox for Java is enhanced to give you:
• Easy access to additional AS/400 resources, to work better in a three-tier
environment, and to make it easier to write servlets and write GUI applications with
improvements to the GUI builder tool.
• Additional Java APIs for accessing AS/400 resources. APIs are added to call AS/400
service programs, call AS/400 Java programs, interact with the AS/400 FTP server,
and work with profile tokens.
