IBM LPP Application Development Products 683

Ability to run many IBM Toolbox for Java classes with a proxy server running
on a middle tier
IBM Toolbox for Java separates interface classes from implementation
classes. These two parts can be run in the same JVM (traditional two-tier
model) or can be run on different machines (three-tier model). By running in a
three-tier model, the IBM Toolbox for Java package on the end tier is smaller.
In an applet environment, this makes the download faster, and a thinner client
can be used on the end tier.
Servlet/HTTP components help developers write applications for a Web
environment
As in the other IBM Toolbox for Java components, these are not complete
applications, but are building blocks for application developers. Two sets of
components are provided. HTML classes provide a set of generic HTML
components. Servlet classes provide components that use the IBM Toolbox
for Java access classes to retrieve data and then convert the results to an
HTML table or form.
Enhanced GUI Builder tool of the Graphical Toolbox with an improved, easier
to use interface and additional editing capabilities
Support for IBM Toolbox for Java to run on a Linux workstation, run in Java 2,
and implement GUI components using Swing 1.1. IBM Toolbox for Java
connects to iSeries servers running OS/400 V5R1 or later
IBM Toolbox for Java containing a spooled file viewer class
This GUI class shows print output.
An IFS class that extends the Java java.io.file class
This class can be used in applications that currently use java.io.file so the
application acts on files in the IFS of the iSeries server.
Provides access to the following iSeries server resources:
– iSeries user and group information
– Database access via Java Database Connection (JDBC)
– Database access via record-level file input/output (I/O)
– iSeries program call
– iSeries command call
– iSeries IFS
– iSeries print resources, including spooled files
– iSeries message queues
– iSeries data queues
– iSeries active job information
– iSeries system values
