RE: java to rpg problem

We now how to use the 'distributed program call', that's not the
problem.  We can call rpg-programs and recieve data from it without any
problem but that's not exactly what we want.

What we are trying to use RPG-modules (or subroutines in it) as if it
were java-methods...

When we put the java program on the iSeries, the
"System.loadLibrary("PROGRAMNAME");" statement is executed.  Of course
this isn't of much help because we want to run it from PC's (with
GUI-interface).

Again, it seems to me that the linking of the object "programname" isn't
found because, on the PC, java looks for a local "programname.dll" file
while it should be looking for the object on the iSeries.  We tried
other directives like "//sysname/library/programname" or
"//sysname/library.programname",etc... to force looking on the iSeries
but it doesn't help.

I call programs using IBM's Java Toolbox (JTOpen) and the ProgramCall
class. This allows Java programs on one machine to call RPG programs
running on a different box.  Is this what you're looking for?

Other options include direct JNI calls and stored procedures.
