RE: Running an i5 program from Java which needs special authorities

Not sure I see the issue here.

If your program needs special authorities and you're writing this for a
customer simply explain why it needs special authorities. Not sure about
the *SECADM part though :-)

Customers are reasonable as long as they see the ROI of what you are
doing.

JT400 or JTOpen should work fine.

subject: Running an i5 program from Java which needs special
authorities

I need some advice before I get too far into coding.



I am designing i5 programs, CLLE or RPGLE, to be called from Java.



The i5 program will use APIs which require

special authority: *ALLOBJ and *SECADM

file authority: *OBJOPR, *READ



I'd like some suggestions on how to approach this problem. Warnings
about pitfalls to avoid would be appreciated.



I'll be using V5R4 on the i5. For Java JT-Open 6.3 or 6.4 and Java 6
will be used. I want to be able to call the programs from Java running
both on the i5 and on a Windows server.



Thanks all
