IBM® Informix® 12.10

J/Foundation Developer’s Guide

These topics describe how to write user-defined routines (UDRs) in the Java™ programming language for IBM® Informix® Dynamic Server with J/Foundation.

These topics also describe the infrastructure that enables you to run Java applications in the database server. These topics describe the Java classes, methods, and interfaces that allow you to access databases from within IBM Informix Dynamic Server with J/Foundation, rather than from a client application.

These topics are written for the following users:

Database-application programmers
DataBlade® module developers
Java UDR developers
Java server application developers

These topics assume that you have basic knowledge in the following areas:

Your computer, your operating system, and the utilities that your operating system provides
Object-relational databases or exposure to database concepts
The Java language and the Java Development Kit
Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), which is a Java application programming interface to SQL databases
SQLJ: SQL Routines specification, which specifies the Java binding of SQL UDRs

These topics assume that you are using the following software:

IBM Informix Dynamic Server with J/Foundation, Version 12.10
J/Foundation includes Version 5.0 of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and uses it to execute your server-based Java routines. This specific version of the JRE ensures that the Java environment is known and reliable for this database server release.
Java Development Kit (JDK), Version 5.0
You need JDK to compile your Java programs.
DataBlade Developers Kit (DBDK) for Java, Version 4.0 or greater
You need DBDK only for DataBlade module development.

These topics are taken from J/Foundation Developer's Guide.
