Toolbox for Java is a set of Java programs that enables the Internet programming model. The

tools can be used to access iSeries resources.

All of the IBM Toolbox for Java classes are part of the ET/400 feature in VisualAge for Java.

Once you add the ET/400 feature, the Toolbox classes will be added into the workbench,

without downloading.

VisualAge for Java offers these functions:

• Create Java graphical user interface (GUI) for existing 5250 displays.

• Use the Convert Display File SmartGuide feature of OS/400 to convert the Data

Description Specifications (DDS) display files of your current RPG or COBOL program

to Java Swing files.

• Call your iSeries program in Java programs.

With the Create iSeries Program Call SmartGuide, the code is generated for you. Data

conversion between iSeries server and the Java data type is also handled for you.

• Deploy your Java program to the iSeries server. Develop Java code using VisualAge

for Java then export the files to the iSeries Integrated File System and compile them

for better performance. Use the Export Java Files, compile iSeries Java Class, Run

iSeries Java Class Actions and Distributed Debugger to deploy and test your Java

program remotely.

• iSeries specific JavaBeans that enable easy access to iSeries resources. DFU beans

extend the support of code to access iSeries database files. You can use them to map

GUI forms, tables, and lists to iSeries databases, and manipulate database records.

Visual Age for Java: New with Version 2.0

In Version 2.0 of VisualAge for Java, all the iSeries SmartGuides are fully integrated with the

IDE. SmartGuides are launched from within IDE and generated classes are placed

automatically inside the repository.
