Begin changeJar files

The AS/400 Toolbox for Java is shipped as a set of jar files. Each jar file contains Java packages that provide specific functions. You can reduce the amount of required storage space by using only the jar files required to enable the specific functions that you want.

To use a jar file, make sure that it resides in a directory contained in your CLASSPATH.

The following chart indicates the Java packages contained in the jar files.

Note 1: Some of the AS/400 Toolbox for Java classes are in more than one jar file:

Note 2: data400.jar contains the PCML runtime classes, which are now also in jt400.jar (Note 1). Data400.jar is shipped to retain compatibility with previous releases of AS/400 Toolbox for Java. Use jt400.jar instead of Data400.jar.

Note 3: jt400MRI_xx_yy.jar contains translated messages, including strings contained in exception messages, dialogs, and output from other normal processing. In jt400MRI_lang_cntry.jar, lang = the ISO Language Code and cntry = the ISO Country Code used to translate the contained text. In some cases, the ISO Country Code is not used. Installing a particular national language version of the AS/400 Toolbox for Java licensed program on the AS/400 installs the appropriate jt400MRI_lang_cntry.jar file. If the language is not supported, the install defaults to the English version, jt400MRI_en.jar.

You can add support for other languages by adding more than one of these jar files to the classpath. Java loads the correct string based on the current locale.

Note 4: jui400.jar contains the classes necessary to use the JDBC DataSource GUI interface. jt400.jar (Note 1) contains the classes necessary for all other JDBC functions.End change
