Re: AS/400 and Java

Dieter,

Do not use CRTJVAPGM???  When a Java program is run, the system
automatically does the CRTJVAPGM if one has not been done before.  I think
that you should look at the command defaults and adjust them accordingly to
get the best performance in the CRTJVAPGM command...

Do not mix Java with RPG or COBOL????  Performance depends on the method of
interaction.  I think such a blanket statement is overstated.  I agree that
direct program calls are expensive, but other methods (such as Socket/XML
processing) do not significantly degrade the performance.  I have found that
it is faster to use a socket to communicate with an RPG program and do
database access than using JDBC with Java.
