> From: "Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > For portability, I just use the Java Toolkit, and it runs on > any platform with a JVM. The Java Toolkit reinforces dependency on native iSeries host services. One might call it a "platform integration" interface. The iSeries itself is a good example of platform integration, running OS/400, Windows, Linux, and Unix applications on a single server. Each OS retains distinctive attributes while sharing a few hardware and software interfaces. Java promotes a common runtime environment across multiple platforms. One might call it a "platform assimilation" interface. Some value platform distinctiveness, while others value platform assimilation. Some value platform integration, while others yearn for platform equalization. >From a business database application perspective, which approach offers greater long term potential? Integration or assimilation? Nathan M. Andelin www.relational-data.com
