IBM Toolbox for Java provides a set of graphical user interface (GUI) classes in the vaccess package. These classes use the access classes to retrieve data and to present the data to the user.
Java programs that use the IBM Toolbox for Java vaccess classes need Swing 1.1. You get Swing 1.1 either by
running Java 2 or by downloading Swing 1.1 from Sun Microsystems, Inc.. In the past, IBM Toolbox
for Java has required Swing 1.0.3, and V4R5 is the first release
that Swing 1.1 is supported. To move to Swing 1.1, some programming
changes were made; therefore, you may have to make some programming
changes as well.See the Sun
Microsystems, Inc. JFC
page for more information about
Swing.
For more information about the relationships between the IBM Toolbox for Java GUI classes, the Access classes, and Java Swing, see the Vaccess classes diagram.
Use the AS400 panes classes to display iSeries data.
APIs are available to access the following iSeries resources and their tools:
Note: AS400 panes are used with other vaccess classes (see items marked above with an asterisk) to present and allow manipulation of iSeries resources.
When programming with the IBM Toolbox for Java graphical user interface components, use the Error events classes to report and handle error events to the user.
See Access classes for more information about accessing iSeries data.
