Java assistance please!

[jeff_carey@xxxxxxxxxx]

We have a java application from a vendor not at all familiar with the
AS/400.  What they have given us is a CD with a whole bunch of jar files
they say to put in our jre/lib/ext directory, and files there to be copied
into the appropriate jre/lib/security folder.

Finally, there is a batch file that calls the java command with the
appropriate classpath and run parameters.  They say this will have to be
rewritten as a start script for "your appropriate O/S".

This application is ultimately to transfer encrypted files over https.  I
don't even see what's going to start the instance of http they'll need,
unless that's what they mean by a start script (which I have no real
experience with).

I can see that the batch files does some sort of checking for the default
version of Java - this app needs 1.3, which we have installed, but I'm not
sure if it's the default (or if making it the default will impact other
applications).

Can anyone help translate this?
