AS/400 Toolbox for Java

What it is:

AS/400 Toolbox for Java is a set of Java classes that allow you to access AS/400 data through a Java program. With these classes, you can write client/server applications and applets that work with data that resides on your AS/400. You also can run your Java applications that use the AS/400 Toolbox for Java on the AS/400 Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

How it works:

AS/400 Toolbox for Java uses the AS/400 servers as access points to the system. Each server runs in a separate job on the AS/400, and each server job sends and receives data streams on a socket connection.
