Re: [Tn5250j-general] STRPCCMD

However at AS/400 side remember to first start PCO using the STRPCO command. afterwards you can run e.g. STRPCCMD 'notepad' which should start up notepad.exe on a windows box. If you can run your command from any shell box on your PC, the emulator should be able to launch the firefox.

Re: [Tn5250j-general] STRPCCMD
Did you try the STRPCCMD + F4 to display
commandproperties and then fill in the command on the screen?
If you run /usr/bin/firefox from any
shell, the browser opens?
What version of the emulator are you
running?
It might be you have to set a property
to enable the scanning for strpccmd

Re: [Tn5250j-general] STRPCCMD
Hi again,
im afraid it doesn't work.
here are my steps again...
strpco
strpccmd '/usr/bin/firefox'--doesn't work
strpccmd ('/usr/bin/firefox') --doesn't work
strpccmd '/opt/kde35/bin/konqueror' --doesn't
work
In the same environment PowerTerm works. I think PowerTerm is java, too.
Do I need to allow it somewhere in the config?

STRPCCMD
Hello Wim,
first I want to thank you for your help.
One of my problems is, that it should run on a linux computer and
not
on
windows.
So the emulator tells me than, that pco.exe is not active.
Why should it, it is on a linux-box. So is there no way to start a
browser?
It works on Ericom PowerTerm(5250 Emulator) for Linux.
Are there any more hints for me?
Thanks,
Oliver

Sorry not to weigh in until now. I have been very, very busy. Hoping things will slow down a bit over the next 2 or three weeks so I can do more on the tn5250j stuff. I am not a licensing expert but as I understand the LGPL, a company can integrate the java classes/jars (library is what the LGPL language says) into their application and can charge for the the application as long as they don't charge for whatever they use from tn5250j. It is a fine line in my opinion but they still need to indicate in their copyrights that some of the application is dependent upon tn5250j and licensed under LGPL (if we go that way). So they can use the tn5250j as part of their solution. They cannot use any source from the project in their own code or build a derived application from tn5250j and charge for it. They can only use complete components that are identifiable as such from tn5250j (like the protocolBean). What I don't know is that if they decide to enhance the tn5250j code are they obligated to contribute that code back to the project? I *think* they are but I am not sure. Where things get fuzzy is how to determine what component is being used. No doubt some of the tn5250j code has found it's way into a commercial product or two already. Not everybody plays by the rules. But I think there is little risk in this approach. In any case it speaks highly of what you guys have accomplished!

Hello all, glad to hear those enhancements are coming into the codebase! Concerning the licensing, though, I'm not an expert myself regarding the differences. As I understand it, GPL means that any derivative or piece of code containing the library, should also be opensource. LGPL lessens this constraint by not implying opensource derivatives or containers, right? So LGPL should be fine to us, but what is the difference with the Apache license?

Well anyway, congrats dude, isn't something like this you always wanted ? I can image myself the very first days i joined the project as a beta tester, and we streamlined it all in about 6 months to a very productive product. Then the thoughts came up to be accepted by a wider public soon, well dude, that is what is happening now :-) I would like to know your opinions on this. Well, i think as long as we can still continue to work on the codebase, this should be no problem... is it ? At least that is my opinion. The company is Help/Systems, Inc and they want to use the emulator part in there Robot product(s). That's good news if you ask me, don't forget to tell them you name should be listed in one or other way :-) Or maybe even better, they contact the team as a group to work on it... always nice to earn some extra cash for the work we did these last years right ? :-) But before all this works out, we first really have to fix that bugs, cause i had to replace the cvs version with an old one at various production boxes here at stafa, cause of the screen freeze.

Re: [Tn5250j-general] new project, maybe usefull to use incombination with tn5250j
If you implement this, I think it is best to stick to standard Java APIs (like JAAS for authentication). We use this and 5250 in our complete java framework. The problem for AS/400 is authentication across multiple AS/400s.

Running java 1.5.0_05 on my linux box gives the next troubles... 1) Splashscreen stays on top and the connection window is below it, there is not way to remove it until you actually make the connection to the iseries. 2) Keymapping does nothing... no matter which key you press, nothing happens and you have to manually edit the keymap file. xdev gives other values then the values used in the keymap file, which makes it hard to find out which value you actually need. No need to say this is very frustrating, cause you loose a lot of functionality in the first place. The second thing... a dutch user contacted me about the jython commands that can be used in tn5250j. A few years ago i was using this functionality a lot, but since i became SCJP i lost the attention to the scripting feature in tn5250j. So there is a lot changed in meanwhile, and commands changed also. The website was never made up-to-date so it's damned hard to actually find out what the exact commands are. Anybody that knows what actually was changed ? _session.getscreen() seems not to work anymore cause things are changed. So i think after almost one year of inactivity, that it becomes time we pickup the project again and do the very last bugfixes, and also remove the 1.3 code crap, to become some more up-to-dated. I know the most of you guys are working on the browser version of tn5250j, but that is not that interesting for the most users, cause tn5250j standalone just does what it needs to do. So maybe we can focus back on the program itself and make it bugfree on windows and linux (and mac) for once and for all. Ofcourse i'm not the project leader, but seems he lost his interests in the project cause we haven't heard him anymore for a very long time. As i'm one of the people that joined the project in the very first beginning it should be nice if we could make a deal, that i will try to lead the team until Kenneth returns. What do you guys think ? Well maybe my java skills do not go that far as most of you, but i will try to lead the project into the right directions. The most important goal is to make it stable now, so we actually can release a FINAL (stable) version. I'm into Linux now, so i can heavily test the program on that platform now.

Re: [Tn5250j-general] Checking in on the project
Hello Pete, great to hear some acitivity from this corner. The screenscraper works for one of our customers and is tailored to their screen layouts. Still have to do some bugfixes for them shortly, so I can send some screenshots on the list to give an idea to what it looks like. We were now discussing internally whether we were going to apply the scraper to our own screens, or build some kind of Swing gui components on top of the stream: a table for a subfile, a label for static text, a textfield for fields etc. The idea is to be able to build swing panels that read and write their data from the screen. The buttons and menu's would call function keys etc to do screen transitions and move to the next swing panel. What do you think? For us it is just to be able to quickly roll out GUIs until we find the time to reengineer the apps in full GUI apps. The 1200 codepage is provided in JT400. However I can not find the 1208. I wonder however if those are supported if they're not in de toolbox. Or are the numbers provider here not the AS/400 numberings?

I'd love to know what you are doing in that area since I think tn5250j has some powerful tools in that would be useful. 2. Also, in general, how hard is it to add code page support, specifically for 1200 and 1208? There was a post in midrange.com from someone looking for an emulator that supported those code pages. I didn't see it in the list of supported code pages (not in JT400 either). I'd like to help this guy out if I could, I just don't know how difficult it is to support other code pages. Thanks!

The latest version of JTOpen provides all the codepages from 1200, 1201, 1202 and 1208. So if they install this one into their classpath, the emulator should work!
Re: [Tn5250j-general] Emulator hangs
, We use the emulator embedded in our apps. When called upon we create a session, pass is userid, password, initial command etc and display the emulator. All data is injected into the system by keystroke emulation. As such the user sees the login and bootstrap process. To minimize this we hold the emulator invisible for a while (configurable amound of millisecs). What we noticed now at a customer site is that, the emulator often hangs on the launching on the command, not in system X mode, but in KB mode. You can not do anything to unblock this, nor do you see anything special at AS/400 side for the job. You can just stop the emulator and restart. If we however augment our invisibility period to a longer time, the hangs occur much less frequent. Does anybody have any ideas about what is causing this problem?

To see if it is the keybuffering that is causing the problem let's try something. At the end of your keys that your are sending insert as the last key sequence [reset]. The last thing it will do is clear the keybuffer after all is done. If this solves it then we will need to debug the keybuffering if I can get an example from you guys and reproduce the code.

Re: [Tn5250j-general] JDK version
Hello Kenneth, I remembered Patrick asking this upgrade, but not from the point of using 'new' technologies like nio, I think. Rather to cleanout 1.3 specific code and integrating new APIs. Probably Swing related APIs most of the times. As I understood NIO it mostly helps for doing async io indeed but also allow better scalable IO. This is however more server oriented than this client side project is. So this would not directly benefit us. However a lot of the multithreading things that are in the code base right, would be gone. You wouldn't have to start a comm-thread for every emulator but use one thread on a channel as a switcher. As you mostly use one emulator session at the time, this wouldn't pose performance problems and do the same thing with less resources. HTH, Wim.

Re: [Tn5250j-general] Passing User ID and Password in Applet
Hello Pete,
I think you are completely right in
your interpretation. The SSL or VPN tunnel would encrypt all communcation
between the PC and the (web and AS400) server. If the user would popup
the HTML source he would indeed see (his own?) userid and password.
The auto disconnect feature as you describe
it would indeed do an signoff endcnn(*yes) as final command. For the Java
part you would have to popup an applet or frame or whatever to create a
session, launch it, add a session listener to it that closes on disconnection.
I'll look into providing an example.

Re: [Tn5250j-general] Passing
User ID and Password in Applet
Thanks to all. You gave me much to think about
Wim, I don't know much about SSL or how it is initiated but I thought that
if you used SSL the stream was fully encrypted. That is, if you are
using SSL then the traffic that is passing over port 992 is encrypted,
even the signon screen. Is that the case? Also, our HTML based
menuing system can run in an HTTPS environment so executing the applet
under HTTPS would encrypt the page I think, though if the user viewed the
page source they would see the password in plain text, right? The
encryption is just used between the browser and the server. The HTML
as rendered by the browser is still in plain text. It *could* allow a user
to view the source on another user's browser and see the password (at least
I think this is possible).
I think I understand the applet ending routine that you currently have
but since I don't work that closely with the internals of 5250 some of
what you and Kenneth are saying is going over my head. And I am still
a relative rookie with Java so I need a bit more info and, if you can,
a small snippet of code that demonstrates what you are talking about. For
example, when you say wrap the command and then use a signoff
with a disconnect, are you saying that I could just have a CL program that
has a call to whatever program we want to run (in fact, we already have
this) and then at the end of the command use SIGNOFF ENDCNN(*YES)? I
think you also are saying that we need to add a sessionlistener to the
applet code and then use that to trigger the navigation when the session
is disconnected. I am not familiar with using a sessionlistener but
with an example I think I can figure it out (code examples are always helpful).
It sounds like that is the way to go. Adding a SIGNOFF ENDCNN(*YES)
should be easy enough but I need a little help with the sessionlistener
logic.
Thanks! Now I just need to deal with the password issue and I think I have
it.

autostart a command. Lets call this the application command. What you can
do is wrap this app command in you own shell command. e.g. start cmd('appcmd').
The start can do a few thing like setting liblists etc. But it's main purpose
is to properly shutdown the emulator. You can do this in 2 ways: to a signof
with disconnect. At the emulator side, you can attach a sessionlistener
and have you applet navigate away from you page as the session gets disconnected.
Or the start command can also trigger a scan code to the emulator: #! END
so the applet can listen to this and perform an end of session. This way
you can do a lot more than just ending.

Re: [Tn5250j-general] STRPCCMD - STRPCO uses?
Actually Kenneth, it is even simpler I think. The STRPCO command actually doesn't do anything (anymore). Just the STRPCCMD fails if you have not issued a STRPCO in advance. It is just client access that scans for what is in the stream on STRPCCMD and indeed scrapes the command and runs it and does an enter. As such it seems the screen has never been displayed.

Wim Well first off that test screen you have is pretty cool :-) Second it looks sort of like what we did for the scanner. So basically what it does is this. 1) Sends the screen with a special command modeled after our scanner stuff. 2) if it does receive this and PCO is active then it will read the screen and not display it. Even sending an Enter key afterwards could be. Would actually need to sniff the interaction but I think that is what it does. 3) If it is not active just display the screen like it says. Basically turning on and off the scanner by a 5250 screen command. This stops other emulators from continuing. Very simple indeed. The solution was elegant. Like I said in one of the previous messages to Pete. It is not the 5250 data streams themselves but how the client interprets and manipulates what is there. Now that is cool!!! Regards Kenneth Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Kenneth, I'm completely with your proposal about the STRPCCMDJ as it will allow for so much more than STRPCCMD. The problem being however you application has to run on TN5250j. Most of the customers use e.g. third party software where the STRPCCMD is programmed in the application. so they can not change it. The call is used for the most stupiest stuff you can imagine. e.g. open an image or a word document; Whatever. You imagine it they do it somewhere; That is the main reason I think we need to implement standard STRPCCMD behaviour.

Wim I have been thinking about this ever since Ignacio posted to the list. My idea was to implement our own STRPCCMD command maybe called STRPCCMDJ or something stupid like that.

When we get the command we can parse it and anything that has #!STRPCCMD x in it we just execut it. Was going to be one of my sample/examples :-) Technical question? Is there a special stream passed back for this type of call? If there is would it be the -128 code that Ignacio posted? If it is where did he get the information from? Also what do they use it for? Sorry but can not really think of a use. Am just a lowly programmer and not into the solutions that you and the others out there do. Cool!!! Let's make this sucker jump through some hoops now that the code base is stable. This could turn out to be a lot more flexible that what CA provides as well.

Yes I found that out after running a sniffer on CA. I will bet
it used to
though because it always says to run the PCO.EXE command on the PC
side. I
thought at first that was what was happening. Really did not
need to but
wanted
to know for sure.
Here are the codes that are specified in the data stream:
-128 -
-4 -
-41 - P
-61 - C
-42 - O
64 -
-125 - c
-128 -
-95 - ~
-128 -
-128 - --- This says to wait for process to finish a value
of -127
says not
to wait.
Here is the code I added to writeToDisplay:
case
-128: // strpccmd
if (screen52.getCurrentPos() == 2) {
System.out.println(got a -128 command for
strpccmd +
screen52.getCurrentPos());
int[] crap = new int[15];
for (int i=1;i11;i++) {
crap[i-1]+=bk.getNextByte();
System.out.println(crap[i-1] + - +
codePage.ebcdic2uni(crap[i-1]));
}
for (int i=1;i11;i++)
bk.setPrevByte();
//sendAidKey(AID_ENTER);
}
There is no break; after this command so it continues processing as
normal
with
the default:
This dumps it all out. I did not parse the command from the
screen yet
though.
Have kind of been thinking the best way to do this. I did not
want to
parse the
command text directly from the datastream but will wait to build the
full
screen
and set a variable to say we are in command mode.
At the end of the code right before we do the update of the screen
I will
check
for this variable of whether true or false and if true will call the
routine to
parse the command from the already translated screen.
This will also skip the call to update the screen so we see no flash.
Also
with
the aid of this you will not get that last screen while doing a signoff.
I was parsing from the screen and checking for the codes but what
I was
thinking
was that with different languages those codes might be different because
of the
translation from ebcdic to ascii. Thus the reason for parsing
it in
WriteToDisplay and not the place of scan method.
What do you think?

We have an HTML based menuing system that runs on the iSeries (under an

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.

RE: [Tn5250j-general] binary sent out
Hello Patrick, It's not just a question of JRE versions but rather an API discussion. A lot of APIs have been changed in 5.0 which will make the 1.4 installations fail!

It'll force all users to 5.0! We e.g. can not move to 5.0 yet because there is no J2EE version for 5.0. So we would have to develop our clients on 5.0 and our server side against 1.4. I'm not sure we would like that. Any other ideas on this matter? Sure, compile the code on 5.0 with the 1.4 compat flag, so that 1.4 users can still run the software.

RE: [Tn5250j-general] Applet Deployment
: Tue, May 10, 2005 8:58 am To: tn5250j-general@lists.sourceforge.net Hello Michael, If I'm correct there is no correct way to deploy a java policy file when deploying an applet. So the easiest way would be to sign your applet. You can generate your own (test-)certificate for signing. Another possibility would be to start your emulator with webstart. This allows for easier policy file replacement or for unsecured deployment. Problem with applets is that a refresh of the web page will relaunch your applet and thus kill your 5250 session?

[Tn5250j-general] Selection rectangle
Hello everybody and Kenneth!! Got some technical question our customers are teasing us with. For copying and pasting text they of course use the selection rectangle. Since the latest releases however they tell us the behaviour has changed and has become awkward in the way the rectangle keeps it's first origin location. Moreover the rectangle sometimes gets corrupted, thus making it impossible to continue copying and pasting text. Does anybody has any ideas where to start first? Can this issue be resolved or is it a feature instead of a bug?

Hello Patrick, no. Sorry no Jython script. Not that I do not now Jython (I do NOT), but it's not that easy! It should be added to emulator itself. It would then be usable for Jython also.

Re: [Tn5250j-general] JTOpen toolkit and passwords
Hello Patrick, The same thing you are trying to do here is already implemented in the SessionBean class in 5250. What you should do, I think (and we do it all the time in our ERP systems based on our own Java Workflow framework for iSeries) is setup a cache of authentications for the user. When he first tries to access a system by name, you should get his profile from the cache (userid password). If its not there, you should popup you own dialog to ask for, try to authencitcate the user by using the following code: String user = dialog.getUserName(); String pwd = dialog.getPassword(); String host = myhost; AS400 as400 = new AS400(host); as400.setGuiAvailable(false); // disables all password popping as400.authenticate(user, pwd); cache.put(name, new User(user.pwd); When you need a 5250 connection, create a sessinbean, set its properties and connect. Also set userid and password. Normally the bean allows you to login automatically by keystroke simulation or by embedding the credentials in the datastream (for the last to work your as400 must allow this by setting the system value QRMTSIGN to *VERIFY). The property bean.setSignonEmbedded() controls how the emulator does the auto signon. Hope this helps, Wim. |-+--- | | Patrick Bielen| | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | Sent by:| | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | ceforge.net | | | | | | | | | 13/04/2005 09:06| | | Please respond to | | | tn5250j-general | | | | |-+--- ---| | | |To: tn5250j-general@lists.sourceforge.net | |cc: | |Subject: [Tn5250j-general] JTOpen toolkit and passwords | ---| Hi Guys, It's been a long time, let's pump up the channel again :-) I want to discuss the password-issues again. As you all know we have to provide tn5250j or any jython script we create with a valid password over and over again. Since yesterday i finally saw you're able to provide the AS400 class com.ibm.as400.access.AS400 with the next statement to keep the password in cache. AS400.setPasswordCache(1) -- in jython AS400.setPasswordCache(true) -- in java is the statement to let the jtopen toolkit store the password in cache. So if we can change tn5250j somewhat so that when we give username and password for the first time (for example when we provide the data for the first login-session) and then imediately let jtopen open an iSeries connection and also close it right away then we're sure the password is in cache, which means that when we have to open a new connection to the iSeries, that we simply can use the next command to logon without the password dialog popping up... AS400(as400.stafa.nl, System.getProperty(user.name)) On our systems, the user.name of the windows-box is the same as the profile on the iSeries, but for other users it should be possible to store the username in a variable by the first logon-session. In other words, if we should do it that way, and for example create a variable that hold the username (read profilename) then we could just use AS400(as400.stafa.nl, ProfileVar) to open a connection to the iSeries and users are happy cause they do not have to provide that freaking password over and over again. What do you guys think about that The password needs only to be referenced once, when we get the logonscreen for the first time and only then, so there is no need to store the password into a variable like we do for the username, cause the password is stored in the cache we do not need a variable for it and we are save again in the view of security, cause you're not able to obtain the password in any way, except for logging in with jtopen cause it stored that password in cache the very first time. If all this above is not clear, read it over and over again, and just ask if something is unclear. If this
