IBM i Series

IBM Licensed Programs: Application Development Products 603
IBM Licensed Programs: Application Development Products
• An Object-Oriented Programming Language, developed at Sun Microsystems
• A Java Virtual Machine (run-time environment) that can be integrated in Web browsers
(such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer), and operating systems
(such as OS/400)
• A standardized set of Class Libraries (packages) that support:
– Creating GUIs
– Controlling multimedia data
– Communicating over networks
– Accessing data in stream files and relational databases
There is also a Java “static compilation” option, designed for improved performance, that
compiles Java into iSeries-dependent object code. Java's primary benefit is its ability to
develop portable client/server applications using the Internet and intranets, whose “objects”
can run on many different platforms in the same network.
A Java SSL package is included with OS/400 to leverage the integrated SSL function built into
the iSeries server. You can easily build more secure client/server applications using Java. All
data exchanged between the client and the server can be encrypted using the SSL protocol.
SQL is embedded in the Java programming language at V4R4 and later. Supported SQL
statements include SQL data-manipulation statements to operate on data stored in tables in
relational databases.
iSeries Toolbox for Java (5722-JC1 Included with 5722-SS1)
The iSeries Toolbox for Java enables a Java applet or application to easily access iSeries
data. It is a collection of classes that represent iSeries data, providing familiar iSeries
client/server program interfaces for Java programs. The Toolbox also provides a set of GUI
classes. These classes use the access classes to retrieve data, then present the data to the
user. The classes use Java's Swing 1.0.03 framework.
