Operating System/400, 5769-SS1
– Improved access to information about jobs running on the AS/400 system.
– Improved access to information on users on the AS/400 system.
– Access to AS/400 system status.
• Improved security
The Toolbox supports the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) specification. Data flowing
between the workstation and an AS/400 system running OS/400 V4R4 can run across an
SSL connection providing data encryption and server authentication.
• Performance improvements
A new tool reduces the size of the jt400.jar file by removing classes from the jt400.jar file
that are not used by an application. The result is a smaller jt400.jar file, which improves
download performance.
• Improved application development
– The Toolbox includes a user interface framework to provide a productive development
environment for building graphical panels. The framework automatically handles the
exchange of data. The developer only needs to create one or more data beans and
bind them to the panel components using tags defined by the Panel Definition Markup
Language (PDML).
– A user interface framework is provided to create a platform and technology
independent representation of graphical panels based on the Extensible Markup
Language (XML). A pure Java framework for interpreting the XML and constructing
user interface panels based on the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) is also provided.
– A resource script converter is provided that converts Windows dialogs to equivalent
Java panels defined in XML.
– A graphical user interface builder tool is provided to develop Java GUIs. This is a
WYSIWYG GUI editor tool.
– A program called “framework” is provided as a program call markup language
(PCML), a tag language used for supporting the program call function of the Toolbox.
The language fully describes all parameters, structures, and field relationships that
are necessary to call an AS/400 program.
Note: When a Java program using the Toolbox is running on a workstation, the Toolbox can
connect to V4R4, V4R3, and V4R2 versions of OS/400. OS/400 V4R4 is required when a
Java program using the Toolbox is running on the AS/400 system. The Toolbox requires JVM
1.1.6 or later, and Swing 1.0.3 or later.
AS/400 Developer Kit for Java, 5769-SS1, 5769-JV1
The AS/400 Developer Kit for Java is optimized for use in an AS/400 server environment. It
uses the compatibility of Java programming and user interfaces, so you can develop your own
