(Posted to both MVS-OE and IBM-MAIN) Hi all,
Our friends at IBM seem to think that these questions are worth a consulting contract, which I am not in a position to even discuss. Can anyone here answer my questions, or point me to where I might find answers (no-charge answers, of course)? Background: HOD (Host on Demand) has a java interface and "library" called HACL (Host Access Class Library). This toolkit is provided to licensees of the HOD product, which of course is designed to be installed on PC workstations. Specifically, there is a "java beans" jar file that uses, IIRC, "J2EE Connection" to communicate with a host session, and enables an application developer to deal with the "presentation space" (i.e., 3270 screen contents) dynamically from a custom application. Now, my questions: Is the habeansnlv2.jar file (or equivalent) available in the z/OS USS environment? I.E., can a java program that uses the beans in that file to communicate with the mainframe be moved to z/OS and executed there? Could the jar file simply be moved to an HFS directory in z/OS and used there by a java program developed on the PC? Has anyone already been through this exercise and would be willing to share gotchas? TIA for any help/info/url/RTFM you can provide.
