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.
