Building JDBC applets

You can use a Java™ makefile or manually execute the javac command to build JDBC applications.

About this task

The following steps demonstrate how to build and run the Applt.java sample JDBC applet.

Procedure

  1. Compile Applt.java to produce the file Applt.class with this command: 
       javac Applt.java
  2. Ensure that your working directory is accessible by your web browser, or by your Java applet viewer, if you are using it. If your directory is not accessible, copy the following files into a directory that is accessible:
    • Applt.html
    • Applt.class
  3. Copy sqllib\java\db2jcc.jar on Windows or sqllib/java/db2jcc.jar on UNIX, into the same directory as Applt.class and Applt.html.

    If you are using any JDBC 4.0 or later functions, copy db2jcc4.jar instead of db2jcc.jar.

  4. If you are using the IBM® Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ, connect with that driver by modifying the Applt.html file according to the instructions in the file. For the TCP/IP port number, you should use the database port number 50000.
  5. To run this applet, ensure that a web server is installed and running on your Db2® server or client, or use the applet viewer that comes with the SDK for Java by entering the following command in the working directory of your client machine: 
       appletviewer Applt.html
