Re: Terminal server..

Pete, 
For java applications, you can use RAWT which does not require PASE.
The concept is similar to X, where the workstation runs an X server and wait 
for the display to come from the X terminal.
Here, the workstation runs a RAWT server and waits for the display to come from 
a remote Java program.

1. Retrieve the RAWTGui.jar file from the iSeries Java folder and place it on 
the workstation.
2. Start the RAWT server on the workstation: java -jar RAWTGui.jar
3. Start the Java application on the iSeries with some specific attributes:

In this example, the Java class to be invoked is AWTExample.class,
the workstation IP is 10.0.0.31.

( get the example from 
http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Programming/java/swing/AWTExample.html )

dcl &CP         *char   512                                 
chgvar &CP ('+                                              
             /samplefolder:.+                                     
             :/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/jdk13+                 
             ')                                             
                                                            
RUNJVA     CLASS('AWTExample')                      +       
           PROP(                                +           
                ('RmtAwtServer' '10.0.0.31')   +          
                ('os400.class.path.rawt'   '1')   +         
                ('java.version'  '1.3')        ) +          
           CLASSPATH(&CP)                       +           
              OUTPUT(* *continue)                           
endpgm


For a jar file, like TN5250j, you have to run CRTJVAPGM first, 
or use Qshell like this:

java -classpath /tn5250j:/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/jdk13 DRmtAwtServer=10.0.0.31 
Dos400.class.path.rawt=1 Djava.version=1.3 -jar tn5250j.jar
                                                      
In this case, the result is that the workstation displays the TN5250j screen, 
but the emulation actually runs on the iSeries.
