i5/OS and OS/400 (5722-SS1): Architecture 511
Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486OpS.fm
An XSL processor used to apply XSL stylesheets to transform an XML
document into another markup language format
XSL stylesheets are the standard way to convert data between two XML
document types. They are commonly used to convert XML data to HTML for
presentation in a Web browser environment.
iSeries system support for XML is delivered through IBM XML Toolkit for iSeries
(5733-XT1). See “XML Toolkit for iSeries (5733-XT1)” on page 702 for more
information.
IBM Java for iSeries
Java is a key application development environment for the iSeries server. The
Java virtual machine (JVM), which resides below the iSeries Layer, enables fast
interpretation and execution of Java code on the iSeries servers. A
class
transformer
enables the direct execution of Java on the system without the
overhead of interpretation.
Java is a complete computing environment, reaching new standards for program
portability and programmer productivity. Java provides an object-oriented
programming environment that is dramatically simpler than C++. iSeries Java
implementation provides improved scalability compared to other Java platforms
and synergy with the iSeries object-based architecture.
Because of its portability, Java is the programming language for on demand
businesses. And the iSeries system support for Java is the best of breed.
Components
Java support on the iSeries is delivered in the following components:
IBM Developer Kit for Java (5722-JV1)
IBM Toolbox for Java (5722-JC1)
Both are included with every i5/OS V5R3 and OS/400 order of V5R2. See “IBM
Toolbox for Java (5722-JC1)” on page 679 and “IBM Developer Kit for Java
(5722-JV1)” on page 685 for product information.
Solutions and benefits
A Java-compatible JVM is integrated under the iSeries machine interface (MI) to
optimize Java software performance. Java programs are compiled into
platform-independent object code interpreted by the run-time support (JVM) on
each platform.
Remote method invocation (RMI) is built into the iSeries Java software. IBM
Toolbox for Java can run on any platform to access iSeries data. Data in XML
