AS/400 Toolbox for Java provides a set of graphical user interface (GUI) classes in the vaccess package. These classes use the access classes to retrieve data and to present the data to the user.
Java programs that use the AS/400 Toolbox for Java GUI (graphical user interface) classes need Sun Microsystems, Inc., JDK 1.1.2 plus
Java Swing 1.0.3 or later, in addition to AS/400 Toolbox for Java. Swing is available with Sun's JFC (Java Foundation Classes) 1.1. See http://www.javasoft.com/products/jfc/index.html for more information about Swing.
For more information about the relationships between the AS/400 Toolbox for Java GUI classes, the Access classes, and Java Swing, see the Graphical user interface classes diagram.
Use the AS400 panes classes to display AS/400 data.
APIs are available to access the following AS/400 resources and their tools:
Note: AS400 panes are used with other vaccess classes (see items marked above with an asterisk) to present and allow manipulation of AS/400 resources.
When programming with the AS/400 Toolbox for Java graphical user interface components, use the Error events classes to report and handle error events to the user.
See Access classes for more information about accessing AS/400 data.
