RE: Running Java Application from Job Scheduler and User Has No Password

1. It would help if you sent a full stack trace of the exact exception that
you're getting.
2. When creating the AS400 object, are you specifying a systemName of
"localhost" or using the

  new AS400()

constructor?

If not, what does your AS400 constructor invocation look like?
