IBM Toolbox for Java

IBM® Toolbox for Java™ is a set of Java classes that allow you to use Java programs to access data on your system. You can use these classes to write client/server applications, applets, and servlets that work with data on your system. You can also run Java applications that use the IBM Toolbox for Java classes on the IBM i Java virtual machine (JVM).

IBM Toolbox for Java uses the IBM i Host Servers as access points to the system. Because IBM Toolbox for Java uses communication functions built into Java, you do not need to use IBM i Access for Windows to use IBM Toolbox for Java. Each server runs in a separate job on the server, and each server job sends and receives data streams on a socket connection.
