Integrated file system

The integrated file system graphical user interface components allow a Java program to present directories and files in the AS/400 integrated file system in a graphical user interface.

The following components are available:

  • IFSFileDialog presents a dialog that allows the user to choose a directory and select a file by navigating through the directory hierarchy.
  • VIFSDirectory is a resource that represents a directory in the integrated file system for use in AS/400 panes.
  • IFSTextFileDocument represents a text file for use in any Java Foundation Classes (JFC) graphical text component.

To use the integrated file system graphical user interface components, set both the system and the path or directory properties. These properties can be set using a constructor or through the setDirectory() (for IFSFileDialog) or setSystem() and setPath() methods (for VIFSDirectory and IFSTextFileDocument).

You should set the path to something other than "/QSYS.LIB" because this directory is usually large, and downloading its contents can take a long time.
