AS/400e Advanced Technology
• A list panel presents a list of AS/400e resources and allows selections of one or more
resources.
• A details pane presents a list of AS/400e resources in a table where each row
displays various details about a single resource. The table allows the selection of one
or more resources.
• A tree pane presents a tree hierarchy of AS/400e resources and allows the selection
of one or more resources.
• An explorer pane combines a tree pane and details pane so that the resource
selected in the tree is presented in the details pane.
The following AS/400e resources are available through the graphical APIs:
• Database data using the JDBC driver
• Database data using record-level database access classes
• AS/400 command call
• AS/400 program call
• AS/400 data queues
• Files in the AS/400 integrated file system
• AS/400 print resources
• Active jobs on the AS/400 system
• Spooled File Viewer
• AS/400 messages and message queues
• AS/400 users and groups
• System values
• Object authority
The classes are written entirely in Java and can be run on any platform that supports JDK 1.1
or later. The AS/400 Toolbox for Java can be used on a client to access AS/400e servers
running OS/400 V3R2, V3R7, or V4R1 and later. The ability to run Java applications on the
AS/400e requires OS/400 V4R2 or later. The Toolbox requires Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
1.1.6 or later.
With V4R4, the AS/400 Toolbox for Java is enhanced to support the Java Database
Connection (JDBC) 2.0 specification. Support is also added for the Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) specification so that data between the workstation and the AS/400e can be encrypted
and the server can be authenticated.
The AS/400 Toolbox for Java in V4R4 also includes an improved application development
environment through the introduction of a new set of tools for building graphical panels.
