Re: TN5250J didn't survive move to Windows 7 -- MIDRANGE-L

Googled on java.policy, tn5250j and applet. It returned this:

http://tn5250j.sourceforge.net/java.policy

That jogged my memory in that I think this was needed for the applet to interact with the local machine. Can't remember exactly but you may want to try it.

Hi Jack.

I have it working on XP as well as Vista and 7.

I few moments ago I took a clean laptop and installed java6 update 24.

Then I went to our webpage with a link to TN5250J on the iSeries and
downloading
TN5250J was initiated by using that link.

After a few seconds I had a iSeries sign on.

So it can be done without any intervention if you have a clean java
installed.
Of course the earlier mentioned problems getting some pre configuration
downloaded
and used by TN5250J still exists.

Hi Bryce.

Yes, maybe IBM could do something for correcting this. I am the only user
of
CA (need the CUT), all other users are happy with either TN5250J and

Mocha.

But the copy/paste isn't the primary reason for deploying TN5250J to

users.

The ease of setup is a major aspect. It's just using a link on our

website

and
a new user is up and running. We have users worldwide and do not have

time

to
guide / install CA, so the TN5250J suites very fine.

But I have still problems deploying a default configuration and a keymap
together
with the java download of TN5250J. 2 small files just need to be

installed

in /users/<user>/.tn520j folder.

If somebody here has a hint on that pls let me know.

My guess is that CA is ignoring white space or an empty field or

something

like that?

I know this works ok for us when doing it on fields that are vertically
oriented as opposed to horizontally. Maybe open up a DCR or PMR with IBM
and have them put it in the next release? Can't get it if you don't ask
for it.

RE: TN5250J didn't survive move to Windows 7

Hi Bryce.

My last post included 2 clips for showing the problem, but they CUT off

in

the received mail. I try once more
with a text based copy/paste. Hope since comes without reformatting.

Me too, Cut/Copy/Paste all the time doing programming and moving/copying
lines or blocks of code.
In CA this works fine, but I have some situations where the paste doesn't
work.

Following example shows it.

Copy is selected by the rectangle covering multiple fields and pasted in
the
next line with similar fields. Can you see the problem in CA ? The paste
fills copied
fields left to right always using the next empty receiving field even if
it should be empty.

The +15,5 C F Y are filled into the wrong fields.

GESU1611143 RH 40 1 50 250,00 500,000 SEAL222222
+15,5 C F Y
Mvm F F Desc. Fresh Apples.................x in Pallets Temp min max
Unit Fract 1,0000 Customs
1 50 250,00 500,000 SEAL222222
+15,5 C F Y

Doing the same copy/paste in TN5250J gives:

GESU1611143 RH 40 1 50 250,00 500,000 SEAL222222
+15,5 C F Y
Mvm F F Desc. Fresh Apples.................x in Pallets Temp min max
Unit Fract 1,0000 Customs
1 50 250,00 500,000 SEAL222222
+15,5 C F Y

Perfect. User often uses this kind of copy/paste.

But TN5250J is missing the Cut.

Brgds

Helge

RE: TN5250J didn't survive move to Windows 7

Thanks Pete and Alan for the update.

I'll try to work with the installer.jar tomorrow.

It's bad that the SourceForge 0.6.2 doesn't work. I don't know
who maintains what version and when, It's a bit confusing.

But, the TN5250j emulator seems to be the best in town especially when
users
demand a good working copy/paste function. tn5250j this is much better in
copy/paste
than CA and Mocha (awesome). I am just missing the CUT when doing
programming and can see that
this feature in on the list at SourceForge.

Using the current working 0.6.1 Beta 1 or 3 works nice and I have tried
having
this version for user download by using a .jnlp on the iseries accessed
via a webpage.
Problem is getting preconfigured sessions and keymap downloaded and
installed on users pc.
Can't get this to work (ok. I am not experienced in java).

Do you have any experience with this .jnlp download ?

But tn5250j is a great emulator an I hope it will continue being subject
to the enhancement
needed as described.

Best regards and a nice weekend
Helge

The 0.6.2 was a fairly extensive rewrite/refactor and I haven't had a
chance to walk through the code and test it because I have been busy
with a couple of projects.

This link
http://www.petesworkshop.com/downloads/tn5250j-install-0.6.2_beta-1.jar
points to the installer version of the PRE "extensive rewrite" version
of tn5250j. The code was a version that I made some modifications to
and then compiled to run on Java 6. If you have Java installed you
should be able to just double-click or run the .jar and it should fire
up the installer.

The version that Alan referred to is just about the same without being
compiled as an installer. Either *should* work but, when it comes to
Java, there is always the *should*.

I'd try the installer first. If that doesn't work, then try the
tn5250j.jar file from the zip file that Alan referenced and replace the
one in the location that the installer installed (I have heard that
works).

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to install and test the latest
revision on Sourceforge which is why I have hung on the the ones on my
web site.

I have a 0.6.1 beta 3 working using java 6 update 24 (newest).

Does somebody know what's wrong with 0.6.2 or do I miss some preregs.

for running it.

Pete, pls tell me how to use the download you provided.

You could try the installer I have here:

http://www.petesworkshop.com/downloads/tn5250j-install-0.6.2_beta-1.jar

(use save as...)
I think it was the one I used to install in Win 7.

Sourceforge has a completely new version which I have not had a chance
to try yet but others have tried with good results.

You will also find a link in the archive to the new version.

I found the link and downloaded the .zip file. Unfortunately it didn't

solve the

problem. It also included several other open-source projects that I

didn't need.

AFAIK, there were no installation instructions.

Thanks for the suggestion.
