I Optimized the crystal-clear jar file, and then I could schedule these reports to run at night on our iseries, and these things run fast, and then I e-mail the reports to their intended users... (Benefit) I can create a quick reports, point and click, and then still have my iseries run it and e-mail, so it cuts down my development time... And I don't have to depend on an NT box or a Workstation to produce these reports... Another Java program I use is called POI http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html this allows me to create native excel files (xls) files on our as/400. With these classes I have total control over the fonts, formatting, width, height, colors of each row and column and its free... Plus it can read xls files as well... I can take a previously created spreadsheet with graphs and then have poi read it, and adjust the numbers for the new month, and now our accountants have a new spreadsheets with all the new values... Sure beats a blah looking delimited file... Java has finally opened the door for the iseries to run 'mainstream' if you will tools... pgp, zip, pdf, report programs, tomcat... I know you asked for business applications, but to be fair... most of our core RPG programs have been around for decades... So it will take time for Java to gain ground in that area... But for tools, Java has allowed us to pool our programmers from other systems (ie: Unix) to write a common tools to get various jobs done... Plus like Aaron said, its fun. And it's nice that it has so many included standard methods.... And there are so many packages to download off the web, that you don't waste your time re-inventing the wheel... tim > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Skvarenina [SMTP:mskvarenina@usa.net] > Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 3:48 PM > To: web400@midrange.com > Subject: Re: [WEB400] New Technology was--> Beyond RPG CGI > > So Aaron, can you demonstrate or point me to a demonstration where a real > business application is running on an iSeries using Java and XML? > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Bartell, Aaron L.
