Thanks Aiken, I checked the version in QSH (java -version) and it came up 1.3.1. I was hesitant to change the version globally on the whole system so I simply copied the SystemDefault.properties file from /QIBM/UserData/Java400 to my user directory under the /home directory. I then added a new line java.version=1.4, signed off and signed back on again. Now the version comes up 1.4.2 and the iText classes work.

Furthermore, execute "dspsfwrsc" on TN5250 and find something like below: 5722JV1 *BASE 5050 IBM Developer Kit for Java 5722JV1 *BASE 2924 IBM Developer Kit for Java 5722JV1 *BASE 2984 IBM Developer Kit for Java 5722JV1 5 5105 Java Developer Kit 1.3 5722JV1 6 5106 Java Developer Kit 1.4 If you have more than one jdk installed on your iSeries, check http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.jsp? topic=/rzaha/multjdk.htm. Usually the highest version will run by default but it may be changed by your administrator. Contact your IBM support representative for software feature ordering (5722JV1 feature 6) or configuration support. For your information, I run apache-ant-1.6.5 and itext 1.4.3 very well on i520, v5r3. Regards, Aiken Sam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
