RE: Using Qshell QzshSystem API

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

I should have identified my intended
use. I am doing this initially to support
running Ant (a Jakarta sub-project) natively
on the iSeries. I know that the most common
way to run Java with Qshell is to use the
command wrapped in QCMDEXC, but that adds
unnecessary overhead. When I am done with
this work it will be open source and part
of the iSeries-toolkit, so everyone should
benefit.

I know we don't have a QSHELL-L list, or an API-L list, so it's a little
difficult to figure out where these go.  I know we use QShell for Java,
but
not necessarily JUST Java.  I suspect you're not using it for Java in
this
case, David... am I right?

In any event, I think issues of RPG -> QShell probably belong in the
RPG400-L list.  Other QShell questions go to MIDRANGE-L, I think, unless
it's specifically regarding using the JVM under QShell.  Any Unix-like
commands and so on should go to MIDRANGE-L.

I think that at some point, though, we'll probably need an API-L or
UNIX-L
or QSHELL-L or something to handle the crossover between the two
environments.  If anybody has a suggestion for this, please speak up.

Thanks!
