Java For Iseries (5722-Jc1 And 5722-Jv1) - IBM i series Handbook

IBM Licensed Programs: Application Development Products
needed in almost every business application. These are run-time functions, such as
backup/restore, sophisticated security controls, and more, that can be incorporated with little
or no change into existing code. APD for AS/400 allows menu items from different
applications to be integrated on the same menu and to be accessed from that menu without
intervening security constraints. This can greatly simplify user navigation between
applications.
APD/400 includes these features:
• Menu driver: Allows interactive creation and modification of menus
• Access control: Access control functions (which can be granted and revoked
interactively by the administrator) are available for menus and menu options
• Fastpath: Supports fastpath jumps to other menus, programs, or applications
• Conflict management: Control of mutually exclusive programs (the choice of one
menu option can disallow one or more other options)
• Save/restore: Allows the user to define save intervals, number of generations, restore
sequences, and backup volume IDs
• Batch scheduling function
All APD/400 administrative programs offer help text for screens and input fields.

Java for iSeries (5722-JC1 and 5722-JV1)

Java is a complete computing environment, reaching new standards for program portability
and programmer productivity. Java provides an object-oriented programming environment
that is dramatically simpler than C++. iSeries Java implementation provides improved
scalability compared to other Java platforms and synergy with the iSeries object-based
architecture.
A Java-compatible Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is integrated under the iSeries machine
interface (MI) to optimize Java software performance. Java programs are compiled into
platform-independent object code interpreted by the run-time support (JVM) on each
platform.
Remote Method Invocation (RMI) is built into the iSeries Java software. It can be used to
communicate with the iSeries Toolbox for Java support running on any platform.
iSeries Developer Kit for Java (5722-JV1) and iSeries Toolbox for Java (5722-JC1) are
included with every OS/400 order of V4R2 and later.
Java includes three primary functions and capabilities:
