Re: Executing a jar file from RPG

Executable jars work by having the class to run in the manifest of the jar.
If you unzip the jar, you should be able to see the name of the class in the
manifest file.
Are you able to get the jar to run on the iseries from java? I would do that
first, then try and run it from RPG. Once you know the name of the class and
setup classpath to include the jar that should be fine

The library website at boulder seems to be down at the mo.



Has anyone had the need to run java from RPG thru a jar file?

I have a java product for which the instruction is to launch by running
a jar file directly as opposed to a java class.

The i5 supports this technique via the JAVA cmd which will accept either
a class or jar.



But is there a way to implement this from RPG similar to calling the
Main method of a java class.
