Re: Connecting to AS/400 from within a JSP page

["Colin Williams" <colinwilliams007@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ewout,


I suspect that the actual connection wont be established until you actually
try to use your as400 object. At that time I would expect to see either an
exception, or the java login window pop up (careful as this may appear
without focus, so be hidden behind other windows)

cheers
