If you want to use applets or the AS400ToolboxInstaller class, you must set
up the HTTP server and install the class files on the AS/400 system.
For more information on the HTTP server, see the
OS/400 TCP/IP Configuration and Reference
.
To configure the HTTP server that comes with the AS/400 system, follow these steps:
Enable POST Pass /QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/*The 'pass' directive must match where you put the AS/400 Toolbox for Java class files. This directive is case sensitive with respect to the path that is typed in the browser.
After you configure and start the HTTP server, you can use the AS400ToolboxInstaller class in a Java application to automatically install and update the AS/400 Toolbox for Java class files on the client.
The AS400ToolboxInstaller class copies files to the client's local file system. Many browsers do not allow applets to write to the local file system, so this class may not work in an applet. For more information about the AS400ToolboxInstaller class and how to use it, see the AS/400 Toolbox for Java V4R3 documentation in the AS/400e series Information Center. Look under "Tips for Programming", and then "Install and update." Or if you are viewing this information through the Information Center, see Client installation and update classes .
