Re: PUBLIC WRITE AUTHORITY

[FRAZIERSR2@xxxxxxx]

Jace,

Thank you.  It's not easy getting used to this Object Oriented Java when you 
are accustomed to doing structured RPG and COBOL.  I think it would have been 
easier if I hadn't had the RPG/COBOL first.

Would you recommend any books, etc, that are specific to Java on the AS/400.  I 
have the Java for RPG programmers book, but it explains Java in relation to 
RPGIV.  I am taking a class on that now and some of the Java stuff is falling 
into place, but I haven't found anything that specifically takes you step by 
step (baby steps please) through creating, compiling, debugging, and running a 
Java program on the AS/400.

Does anyone else have this problem?  I can write simple Java programs on the 
PC, but then what???

Exactly how is the CLASSPATH set on the 400?  Can you look somewhere to see how 
it is set up on your 400?  Where?

Thanks for your help
Susan



Susan,

This message is just a information/warning message. It is telling you that
you have a potential security hole by allowing *PUBLIC write authority on
your JAR file. This would allow someone to potentially put a class file
with the same name in your JAR file.  If this "BAD" class file were placed
ahead of the class file that you really wanted, the "BAD" class file would
be used.  It is just letting you know you might want to change the
authority on the JAR file, the choice is yours.

Jace
