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:
- 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.
- The AS400ToolboxInstaller class is documented in the AS/400 Toolbox for
Java V4R3 information, which is provided in the AS/400e
series Information Center, SK3T-2027-00. 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
.
- Find the file named jt400.zip. It should reside in the
/QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib directory. Copy jt400.zip
from the AS/400 to your workstation. This can be accomplished in a
variety of ways. The easiest way is to use Client Access/400 to map a
network drive on your workstation to the AS/400. Another method is to
use file transfer protocol (FTP) to send the file to your workstation (ensure
that you transfer the file in binary mode).
- 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.
