RE: Java connection

I'm going to understand this some day... if it kills me.

Uninstalled Sun's 1.3 and IBM's 1.1.8 kits (just to clean up the HD) which
set me back to the original message.  Installing Sun's 1.2.2 back over
itself made everything all better.

You know, for a 23 year IBM midrange systems programmer I'm not horrible at
the PC stuff.  I've had PC's, built PC's, run DOS since v2, windows since
/386, OS/2 since 2.0, Have a system at home with PC-DOS 7, Win98, and Warp
4.0 FP13 all running fine.  Including Java 1.1.8 on Win98 and Warp.  But the
Code/400 installation/integration is miserable.  I love the product, but
I've spent WAY too much time fiddling with Java, editing autoexec.bat, etc.
The productivity increase (?) of Code/400 will be a long time in paying for
the installation/maintenance downtime.  Kind of parallels client server
computing model and TCO doesn't it?

Soon I'll be putting this stuff on 12 more desktops for green screen loving
SEU users who don't know they're unhappy.  Oh boy.  

The good news is they'll be installing Java on the dev 720 Monday night.  I
forgot to tell the ops folks it's a client side Java issue.  ;-)

Thanks to Edmund and David for assistance!!!

Progress update:
Installing the Sun SDK & RT for 1.2.2 made progress.  Now I'm up to a
"Unable to find all required classes." message.

I've got to make this quick because I've got so much Java in this PC it
needs to run to the little computer's room and relieve itself. :-)

The Microsoft JVM didn't do the trick.
The IBM SDK & RT for 1.1.8 didn't do the trick.
The Sun SDK & RT for 1.3 doesn't do the trick.

I can go to a dos command line under the last two above and do a Java
-version and get the expected results, but still not get beyond the "Unable
to load JNI runtime library.  Ensure Java is installed correctly." message
in Code/400.  I've alternated using the \jdk1.1.8\bin and the jdk1.3\bin in
my path statement.

My current path is:
PATH=C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\CLIENT~1;C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\CLIENT~1\SHARED;C:\PROGRA~1\IB
M\CLIENT~1\EMULATOR;C:\IBMDEBUG\BIN;C:\ADTSWIN;C:\JDK1.3\BIN;C:\NOVELL\CLIEN
T32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\DMI95\WIN32\BIN;C:\READIBMW;C:\IMNNQ

Anybody have an idea what I'm missing?  I can't find any directions to
accomplish this either, and a pointer would be very welcome.  

It's apparent that Java is the extender of choice for Code/400 and needed
for Aldon/CMS integration, but this starting to frustrate even a VERY
stubborn programmer.  Anyone else on this staff would have gone back to SEU
and pronounced Code/400 unworkable by now, which is NOT my goal.

TIA for any more help the list can provide!

Tom,

The Microsoft JVM is not sufficient in itself for running Code/400 Java
"macros" on your PC.  You also need to load the Java SDK from either Sun or
IBM.  Code/400 does NOT use the JVM or SDK on the /400 for this purpose.

However, if this is the stick you need to get Java installed on your /400,
I'd say run with it! <grin>

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.
