Problems with Java program.

["Charlie Ray" <cray@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having problems with the following java program which should convert an 
AS/400 spooled file into an Adobe PDF file. I created a CL that calls the java 
class file and passes it the parameters for the spool file to convert. When I 
run the program it runs for a few minutes then drops back to a command line and 
the folloing message is displayed.

Spooled file SPOOLTEST conversion failed.

This is the first Java program that I've tried running on the AS/400. I'm not 
sure how to go about debugging it to see where it's failing. I tried using 
strdbg giving it the ifs path and java class name but it was unable to find the 
source. Both the .java  and .class files are in the same ifs directory. Which 
is where they were when I compiled the .java file.


No other output gets generated as far as I can see. I did a wrkjob on the 
session and looked for all spooled files created and didn't see anything. I 
expected the output to go to qprint.

Any help with this would be very much appreciated.
