RE: How Java is used in AS/400

["Bennion, Dick" <Dick_Bennion@xxxxxxxx>]

I have written several java applications that use the AS400.  Two books that
have really been helpful to me are Java For RPG Programmers by Don
Denoncourt (Midrange Computing) and Java And the AS/400 by Daniel Darnell.
There is a new edition of the Denoncourt book out.  It runs about $90.  The
Darnell book was out of print, it is back now.  Between the two I would
probably select the Denoncourt book.  My version of the Darnell is
definitely out of date.

You can download the Java toolkit from IBM.  Personally I like the JTOpen
version, but it is only supported on V4R5.  We are running V4R4 here and it
works with everything I have tried.  I would suggest that you build and test
your application on a workstation and then move it to the AS/400 if that is
where you wish it to run.
