I've never used JZOS before, so I'm not sure what kind of
functionality you
are after.

However, you can just submit a RUNJVA command to batch.
SBMJOB CMD(RUNJVA CLASS(package.YourClass)) CPYENVVAR(*YES)

JZOS bundles a nice interface with the "Job Entry System" so that it is
easy to write standard print reports and other things. It also allows
allocation of datasets via JCL DD statements (not an "i" concept as far
as I can tell) and reading them easily. The way to run Java on z/OS
without JZOS requires using z/OS UNIX (PASE equivalent) services which
don't easily allow reading and writing SPOOL files or specifying the
dataset names in standard JCL DD statements.

Once again, the "i" is better integrated. I'm really impressed with the
system from what I've read (we don't have one yet).
