Long description of Figure 1: Server access points (rzahh501.gif)

found in IBM® Toolbox for Java™: Server access points

This figure gives a graphic overview of how the classes in the access package of IBM Toolbox for Java use socket connections to interact with data and services on IBM i servers.

Description

The figure is composed of the following:

• A rectangle at the top represents one or more clients, each with a Java virtual machine. The label for the client explains that it is running an applet in a browser or a Java application and has available a socket/TCP connection to the IBM i server.
• A rectangle at the bottom represents an IBM i server. The label for the system explains that it has one or more servers running IBM i and those servers have available a socket/TCP connection to the client.
• A lightening bolt connects the two rectangles, and it represents the active socket/TCP connection that allows information to travel between the client and the systems.

The client (the top rectangle) includes the different functions in the IBM Toolbox for Java access package that you can use to work with data and services on the IBM i server:

• Command call
• Program call
• JDBC
• Record-level access
• Integrated file system
• Print
• Data queues
• Jobs
• Messages
• Users
• User space
• Digital certificates
• Security
• System value
• System status
• Connection pool
• Data areas

The IBM i server (the bottom rectangle) includes the different types of data and services you can work with by using the classes in IBM Toolbox for Java access package:

• Commands
• Programs
• Database
• Integrated file system
• Spool
• Data queues
• Jobs
• Messages
• Users
• User space
• Digital certificates
