RE: Passing Java Object to iSeries

Hi Pete,

Yes, I know, RPG would be the way to do this.  Unfortunately, I'm not an
RPG person and our RPG people are on other projects.  Since this is "web
data", I'm relegated to finding ways of getting the data out of the
iSeries.

While I realize that given my extract application is in Java I will be
confined to JDBC, my thought was if I could pass in a "Java object" and
have something deserialize it, stuff the deserialized data into the
tables, it would probably be faster than the App looping through all of
the parts, getting each individual "table field" data and doing an
"insert" into the database.

This may not be possible, I don't know.  As I've mentioned, I'm not an
RPG/CL/iSeries programmer.  Just a Java/.Net guy trying to think outside
the box.

Not seeing your code, it is difficult to comment, but your primary DB
connection method in Java will be JDBC, whether you are on the iSeries
or not.  So I doubt there would be a change in connections.

Given the capabilities of RPG, you could eliminate the Java.  RPG is
pretty good at mangling, massaging, twisting and bending data on its
own.
