Re: tn5250j what's required on the host side

PS. (Scott) telnet server is running - I can start a telnet session from a DOS command prompt w/o any problem. Bob


"You may want to double check your connection settings."

I checked everything and the settings look correct. When I start/connect the session I see the device configuration status on the iSeries and it says it's varied on, and sitting at the Signon screen. The desktop session starts, but is just a blank screen.


"Also, take a look at the "DOS" execution window associated with the jar (if there is
one). I've seen situations where tn5250j dumps a stacktrace (known bug,
to me at least) because of the number of sessions variable wasn't
initialized."

I do see a Warning message in the DOS execution window, here it is:
10430 [Thread-5] WARN org.tn5250j.framework.tn5250.DataStreamProducer - load stream error 770

"BTW the "official" site is tn5250j.sourceforge.net. I had patched
tn5250j for Aaron because I am a committer on the project and he
downloaded it from my site and also posted it on his. One of these days
(and I have been waiting for about 4 years now...) I'll clean up the
main bugs and put together a new distro for download at SF. Someday..."

I did go back and download from tn5250j.sourceforge.net that is what I'm running now.
My PC is running java version 1.6.

Thanks, Bob

Greetings, I have downloaded the tn5250j.jar from www.mowyourlawn.com (Thanks) and now I'm stuck.

Configured a connection to my iSeries.
Connect with the client on my PC and I see is a blank screen with a cursor in row 1/column 1 and "X - System" displayed on the bottom left side of the screen.

Do I need to run something on the server side to get this working?

Thank you,
Bob
