RE: Java connection

Thanks Edmund.

To be sure, I dl'ed the Microsoft <shudder> Win95 JVM again, and got it's
latest iteration.  I reinstalled, rebooted and get the same messages from
Code/400.  I verified the Win95 JVM install by running Caffeine mark 3.0
(got 4749, Warp does better!).

It's almost got to be the /400 that's the 'problem'.  I have no listing for
Java on the development box in the installed licensed programs.  I assume we
just did standard upgrades all along and never added the new cool stuff as
it came out.  We haven't used java and never needed it till Code/400 came
along.  Looks like two steps into the 21st century are needed now.

Time to get the ops folks in gear.

Tom,

A couple of answers and all of them good news.

A) The CMS support probably means that it needs Java on the workstation.
In other words the free Wintel version that you can download either from
Sun or from IBM.  Make sure the the java.exe is in the path.

B) Yes the AS/400 has a JVM for its platform that is naturally better than
any other platform.  No you do not have to pay for it or even install it,
it is a base part of the operation system.  In fact parts of the operating
system may even use it.  IBM is SERIOUS about Java on the AS/400.

I hope this helps.

I'm still using the demo edition of Code/400 while my company's
bureaucratic
gears slowly mesh with IBM's to add Code/400 to our subscription.

In using it I found the extras, and the integration to Aldon's CMS and
attempt to use same - only to be told that it requires Java and JNI.  Java
is not currently installed on my development system (or any of the others),
and disregarding that apparent heresy my question is:  Isn't Java runtime
included in OS/400 (and without charge?)?  The reference I find on the
website says:

_________________________________________________
Programs Within OS/400
The following programs are all part of OS/400 and all ship with OS/400.
They
do not need to be ordered separately. However, they all appear within the
AS/400 Software Resources and Licensed Program menus as separate products:

5769-JC1 Java Toolbox for AS/400 (#2585)
5769-JV1 AS/400 Developer Kit for Java (#2586)
5769-PM1 Performance Management/400 (#2556)
5769-SA3 Integration for Novell NetWare (#2645)
5769-TC1 IBM TCP/IP Connectivity Utility (#2529)
The feature quoted is the code that must appear on the 5755-AS5 software
programs order for these programs to be shipped.
__________________________________________________

I know IBM gives away their java runtime, and the SDK, for WinTel and
OS/2v4
as I have both.  Do they charge for /400 Java???  If so, any idea what the
ballpark price is for a 720 on V4R4?  The operations folks here are just
giving me *blank stares instead of answers.  Apparently they need caffeine.
They are assuming anything from IBM has a charge, I think so to but we
already paid it.
