All,

I am having a problem connecting to the AS/400 using the AS400 object to run
a COBOL program.  When the classes are run off the 400, everything works
fine.  I set the IP address of the 400, I set a username and password, and
all works well.  When the classes are on the 400, the host name is not set
AS400 connection uses the defaults (localhost, job user, job password) for
the connection.  There are getter/setter methods to set the password, user
name, and host name in the class with the connection to the AS400.  The
as400 object is defined as AS400 as400 = new AS400();  Anyone have any ideas
why it does not work on the AS/400 itself, but it will work on a remote
machine?  I'm getting an IOException on the connect.  Here is a code
snippet:

    private void callAs400Connection() {

        /*
         * only do these checks if there is an ip address.  If there is no
IP
         * address assigned, localhost and job user are used.
         */

        if (!getIpAddress().trim().equalsIgnoreCase("null")) {
            if (getUserName() == null) {
                throw new RuntimeException("The user name was not set.");
            }

            if (getPassword() == null) {
                throw new RuntimeException("The password was not set.");
            }

            /*
             * make sure the userID is set...
             */

            if ((as400.getUserId()).trim().equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
                try {
                    System.out.println("Setting the UserName to: " +
getUserName());
                    as400.setUserId(getUserName());
                    System.out.println("Setting the Password");
                    as400.setPassword(getPassword());
                } catch (PropertyVetoException e) {
                    System.out.println("Problem setting the User Name.
PropertyVetoException");
                    e.printStackTrace(System.out);
                } catch (ExtendedIllegalStateException e) {
                    System.out.println("Problem setting the User Name.
ExtendedIllegalStateException");
                    e.printStackTrace(System.out);
                }
            }

            /*
             * make sure the system name is set...
             */

            if ((as400.getSystemName()).trim().equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
                try {
                    System.out.println("Setting the System Name to: " +
getIpAddress());
                    as400.setSystemName(getIpAddress());
                } catch (PropertyVetoException e) {
                    System.out.println("Problem setting the System Name.
PropertyVetoException");
                    e.printStackTrace(System.out);
                } catch (ExtendedIllegalStateException e) {
                    System.out.println("Problem setting the System Name.
ExtendedIllegalStateException");
                    e.printStackTrace(System.out);
                }
            } else {
                System.out.println("System name already set to " +
as400.getSystemName());
            }
        }
