Vaccess classes

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.Link outside Information Center. 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 Link outside Information Centerpage 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.
