Customizing your IBM i server for Java usage
After you install Java™ on your server, you can customize your server.
- Java classpath
The Java virtual machine uses the Java classpath to find classes during runtime. Java commands and tools also use the classpath to locate classes. The default system classpath, the CLASSPATH environment variable, and the classpath command parameter all determine what directories are searched when looking for a particular class. - Java system properties
Java system properties determine the environment in which you run your Java programs. They are similar to system values or environment variables in IBM i. - Internationalization
You can customize your Java programs for a specific region of the world by creating internationalized Java program. By using time zones, locales, and character encoding, you can ensure that your Java program reflects the correct time, place, and language.
