Re: Trying to execute a command on the i

Pete,

I wonder if you should be using strLib.byteLen()... Perhaps you should
use strlib.characterLength() instead.

I see that the binding for QCMDEXC shows conversionTable = CSOE037,
indicating that a translation to SBCS is occurring. Internally, your
char types may be Unicode, enlarging the number of bytes used to
represent that character data, but once translated to SBCS characters,
you wind up with a smaller string (fewer bytes).

That's all I can figure for now...

Hth,
Eric DeLong

Subject: [EGL-i] Trying to execute a command on the i

It should be sooooo simple. This is from a web service named
Submit835Batch, running on tomcat 6.0.20, with jdk 1.6.0_11, JTOpen
6.5.1. Tomcat is hosted on localhost (windoz). RDB version is 7.5.1.2
(trial).

EGL generation results are all green.

Problems shows 4 issues. Suspect 1 and 4 can be ignored, no idea about
the other one (2 and 3):
1. Class is a raw type, Reference to generic type Class<T> should be
parameterized for EGLLIB_Lib.java.
2. No grammar constraints (DTD or XML schema) detected for the document
submit835batch-bnd.xml in Submit835Batch/Webcontent/WEB-INF/classes
3. Same as 2, but in Submit835Batch/src.
4. The method getConnection(String, String) from the type
AS400ConnectionPool is deprecated for EGLLIB_lib.java.

There is a warning when tomcat is started within RBD:
[SetPropertiesRule] {Server/Services/Engine/Host/Context} Setting
property 'source' to 'org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:Submit835Batch' did not
find a matching property.

There are deploy warnings from tomcat about JSF config rules (JSF is not
used in this project. Can't see that has anything to do with it.)

I always get message EGL0150E: An error occurred calling the QCMDEXC
program Error:EGL0006E an error occured while creating an object of the
com.vcpi.services.QCMDEXC type. The following error occurred:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.vcpi.services.QCMDEXC. EGL0001I
the error occurred in submit_Impl. EGL0002I the error occurred in submit
processing the submit function.

package com.vcpi.services
service submit
cmdString string;
cmdLength decimal(15,5);
returnVal string;

function submit(payor string in) returns(string)
syslib.setRemoteUser("<snip>", "<snip>");
cmdString = "ADDLIBLE LIB(FOO)";
cmdLength = strLib.byteLen(cmdString);
try
call "QCMDEXC" (cmdString, cmdLength);
onExection (ex AnyException)
returnVal = ex.messageID + " " + ex.message;
end
return(returnVal);
end
end

eglbld has the following linkage section:
pgmName = QCMDEXC
type = reomteCall
alias = QCMDEXC
conversionTable = CSOE037
library = QSYS (tried empty, %LIBL%)
location = <the actual host name> (tried IP address and
PROGRAMCONTROLLED in conjunction with the serverID value)
luwControl = SERVER
package = (tried com.vcpi.services - thats the package name for the
service, as well as empty)
remoteBind = tried both GENERATION and RUNTIME
remoteComType = JAVA400
remotePgmType = STATELESS (tried STATEFUL too, but it's not)
serverID = (tried the actual host name in conjunction with
PROGRAMCONTROLLED for the location.)

I have copyied EGLsysLibJni7.dll into c:\Windows, and it doesn't matter
if I run tomcat through RBD, or by executing startup.bat and installing
the application with the application manager.

I must be doing something really stupid here, but what? My trial will
expire soon, and so far, nada. Getting a little frustrated.
