Re: Scheduling a Java PGM to run...

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

Mike,

The most common way of exposing a Java service running as a Web
application server is as a Web service. Setting up a Web service isn't
too hard if you already have the application server running. I wrote an
article about this a while back that might help:
http://www.midrangeserver.com/mpo/mpo021303-story01.html. To get it
to run at a scheduled time modify the demo client to access your service
and make it a shell script that you run from the job scheduler using the
qsh command.

I need to call a Java PGM on the first of every month. I am a Java Web

developer, but have written this as a Java application, as opposed to a

servlet. I have been running it from WDSC-i but need to move it to the

iSeries and have it run unattended on a scheduled basis. What is the
best 
way to do this? 

I have not had much success in running a Java app on the iSeries using
the 
RUNJVA command, my biggest issue being setting the CLASSPATH. But if
using 
the RUNJVA command in a CL and putting it in the job scheduler is the
best 
practice, I will work through it. Since my expertise lies in servlet 
programming, I would prefer to make this a web application. What is the

best way to fire a servlet at a specified time?

Thanks
