Re: Java on AS/400

[dawall@xxxxxxxxxx]

Where you put jt400.zip is not as important is getting your environment set
up to so tools find jt400.zip.  The command line JDK tools  (java, javac,
etc.)  use environment variable "CLASSPATH" to find java classes.  Putting
jt400.zip in something in the 'path' environment variable doesn't do any
good since CLASSPATH is searched to find java classes.

Suppose you place your .java files in c:\java and jt400.zip in c:\java\lib.
You need to run
"set CLASSPATH=c:\java;c:\java\lib\jt400.zip" so the command line tools
find your code and the Toolbox zip file.

Integrated development environments are similar.  VisualAge for Java,
Symantec Cafe, JBuilder, etc. all have a slightly different way to make
things like jt400.zip 'visible'.  The terminology is the usually same,
however.  They talk about adding things to CLASSPATH.

We have decided to work with Toolbox for Java...I have copied jt400.zip
file
from AS/400 to my C:> in my Win'98 workstation....now when I compile a java
pgm which uses "import com.ibm.as400.access" and "import
com.ibm.as400.vaccess" I am getting an error "package
com.ibm.as400.access"
and "package com.ibm.as400.vaccess" not found in import.

My question is since I have already set my path as c\jdk1.2.1\bin
                 can I place the jt400.zip file in folder "bin"? .

Thanks
Jay

Jay, do you mean to say that you are looking at having 400 serverside
programs invoke AWT GUI classes?  If so, there are some steps you must
follow to use the AS/400's Remote AWT functions (i.e. start a client side
daemon).  Have you looked into these?  There is stuff to do on both client
and server sides.

Regards,
Graeme.
