Placing the AS/400 Toolbox for Java class files on your workstation

Copying the class files to your workstation allows you to serve the files from your workstation. You can use the AS400ToolBoxInstaller class or rely on existing mechanisms for obtaining server updates on your workstation.

You can use either the jt400.zip file or the jt400.jar file on your workstation. Neither file has an advantage over the other file. The following instructions use the jt400.zip file, but these instructions also work for the jt400.jar file. To copy the files from your workstation:

  1. Decide what method you would like to use to copy files to your workstation. You can use the AS400ToolboxInstaller class or manually copy either the zip or jar file.
  2. Update the CLASSPATH environment variable of your workstation by adding the location where you put the program files. For example, on a personal computer (PC) that is using the Windows 95 operating system, if jt400.zip resides in C:\jt400\lib\jt400.zip, add ;C:\jt400\lib\jt400.zip to the CLASSPATH variable.
