I had posted some of this about two years ago when I first started
working with the 5250 applet. The problems that I had (and still
have) have to do with the passing of UserID and password in the clear
when I start an applet session. Gaurav posted some code that has a
servlet that talks to the applet and passes the password back to it.
I think I can follow the approach but wanted to know if anyone else
had solved this problem in a different way.
We have an HTML based menuing system that runs on the iSeries (under
an Apache web server). The user logs in via an HTML login prompt and
then the menu(s) are generated from there. Some of the menu items are
HTML based but some are 5250 apps and we launch them using tn5250j in
an applet. We generate the HTML that launches the applet on the fly
using a template but so far we have had to pass the password in the
clear, not a good solution. So, if you have any ideas that we could
use to start the applet without passing the password in the clear, I'd
like to hear about it.
We also have a need to end the application gracefully when the users
are done running the 5250 application. Right now, we display a
message that says "Click the Exit link to end the program" and the
user has to click the link to end the session. What I would like to
do is have the applet close when the 5250 application has ended
automatically. I am not sure how to accomplish this since the 5250
session would have to "tell" the applet to close....
I'd appreciate anyone's idea as to how to solve these two issues as
simply as possible.
Thanks,
Pete Helgren
