Persistent Java Objects for AS/400 (white paper)
Businesses depend upon their computers to hold their data
persistently, securely, and with integrity. And if anything
should go wrong, the data store had better do everything it can
to recover the data. In short, businesses need for their data to
be in object databases. With the help of persistent pools, the
AS/400 will soon have the ability to build Java objects that are
persistent, shared, scaleable, secure, transactional, queryable,
and recoverable. View PDF Version.
Java and SNA: A Case Study (tutorial)
Intranets are hot, so you need to know all the options for
working with them; in particular, the options concerning IP and
SNA. While IP provides many benefits, a large percentage of
enterprise data resides on mainframes and is accessed primarily through SNA.
The API tool kit described in this paper provides SNA bindings for Java, allowing
programmers to write LU6.2 programs in Java to access critical business
data and resources. View PDF Version.
