I've been down the road of using telnet api's, although not with Java, and would not recommend it AT ALL. It's especially troublesome if you (the Java Developer) and they (the Mainframe/CICS developers) work in different groups, and not even in the same reporting heirarchy. A simple CICS screen change is made by the mainframe group...needs to be synchronized with the Java group, etc., etc.
I might look into some more generic methods of communitcation, like maybe MQ Series / CORBA? although not inexpensive (both in learning curve and dollars). -----Original Message----- From: Venkatesh Prasad Mysore Seshadri [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 11:14 AM To: JDJList Subject: [jdjlist] RE:_[jdjlist]_R�f._:_[jdjlist]_mainframe_and_Java Yes, As/400 is a mid range system and not a mainframe. Sorry if my question was not clear. It is something like this. 1. Load Java applet using Mocha software which uses telnet to conect to the host mainframe. 2. The mainframe console appears on the html page as an applet. 2. Now we need to goto some specific screen on the mainframe like it should automatically login with a predefined ID and password (something like running a macro on the mainframe). This could be done using the telnet APIs also I beleive. I am sure people who have worked on java-telnet APIs will be knowing more about this. :) If this is correct, I need more info, links or examples on the same.
