Re: Defining an AS400 connection

Something like this should work
<code>
       AS400JDBCConnection conn = ( AS400JDBCConnection ) conn400;
       AS400 system = conn.getSystem();
</code>

Where conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:as400://systemname")

In our shop, we are doing some experiments with Java. We access the iSeries database with JDBC. When our pilot application is started, a JDBC-connection is established with the statement "connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:as400://systemname")". A pop-up window is displayed, allowing the user to log on. So far, so good. Now, in the application, we have to call an RPG service program. We plan to use the class ServiceProgramCall from the AS/400 Toolbox for Java. The methods of this class require an instantiation of the class AS400. Of course, we don't want the user to have to log on two times, once for creating the JDBC-connection, and once for creating the AS400-connection. Is it possible to create the AS400-connection 'in the background', making use of the fact that a JDBC-connection has already been established?
