IBM e. Server i. Series Connection pooling can improve performance §Each new connection to the server can be an expensive operation §Pooling means reusing AS 400 objects - i. e. keeping the connection open for later §Saves frequent disconnects and reconnects §Common scenario: servlets ƒ Without pooling: Create a new AS 400 object for each invocation of the servlet ƒ With pooling: Grab a preconnected AS 400 object from the pool for each invocation of the servlet, return it when done! §Connections will be added as needed Connection pool 16 © 2005 IBM Corporation

IBM e. Server i. Series JDBC driver choices Toolbox JDBC driver (com. ibm. as 400. access. AS 400 JDBCDriver) §Communicates with the database using TCP/IP §Great for: –client/server applications –applets –servlets, where the web server and data are not on the same i. Series or AS/400 JDBC 3. 0 support in JTOpen DB 2/400 JDBC driver (com. ibm. db 2. jdbc. app. DB 2 Driver) §Communicates with the database using direct CLI calls §Great for: –server applications –servlets, where the web server and data on same i.

IBM e. Server i. Series Record-level database access Fast access to i 5/OS database files Provides access to database files: §Access records sequentially, by record number, or by key §Physical and logical file members are described by a Record. Format §Support for locking §Support for transactions §Familiar paradigm for RPG programmers §Limited System/36 SSP file capability, too! AS 400 system = new AS 400("my. System"); Sequential. File file = new Sequential. File(system, "/QSYS. LIB/MYLIB. LIB/MYFILE"); file. set. Record. Format(. . . ); file. open(. . . ); Record r = file. read. Next(); 21 © 2005 IBM Corporation

IBM e. Server i. Series Record-level database access Fast access to i. Series database files Performance tips §Avoid retrieving the record format multiple times. Retrieve it once and save a reference to it or hard code the record format §Blocking factor means record caching. Experiment with different sizes or specify zero and let the Toolbox determine the blocking factor. §Blocking factor is valid only when the file is opened for READ_ONLY or WRITE_ONLY access. §Opening keyed files is slower than opening sequential files. Use sequential files unless you need to specifically search by key. 22 © 2005 IBM Corporation

IBM e. Server i. Series Integrated file system File input, output, and more Implements standard Java input/output (java. io) classes: §Read and write data sequentially or via random access §Create, delete, and rename files and directories §List the contents of a directory AS 400 system = new AS 400(); IFSFile. Output. Stream s = new IFSFile. Output. Stream(system, "/a. a"); byte[ ] data = new byte[n]; s. write(data); IFSText. File. Output. Stream s 2 = new IFSText. File. Output. Stream(system, "/b. b", 37); s 2. write("Hi Mom in EBCDIC"); 23 © 2005 IBM Corporation

IBM e. Server i. Series Interprogram Communication Data queues, Data areas, User spaces, . . . Transfer data between programs using: Java program §Data areas §Data queues (keyed or sequential) §User spaces Partner can be Java program, traditional i 5/OS program, on i. Series or another client AS 400 system = new AS 400(); User. Space us = new User. Space(system, "/QSYS. LIB/MYLIB. LIB/MYDATA. USRSPC"); byte[ ] data = new byte[1024]; us. read(data, 0); 27 © 2005 IBM Corporation

IBM e. Server i. Series Data Queues Example: Using a Data. Queue Process A Process B // Create a Data. Queue object to represent a specific data queue. AS 400 system = new AS 400("MYSYSTEM", "MYUSERID", "MYPASSWORD"); Data. Queue dq = new Data. Queue(system, "/QSYS. LIB/MYLIB. LIB/MYQUEUE. DTAQ"); // If it doesn't exist, create it. if (!dq. exists()) { dq. create(1024); // Entry length is 1 KB } while (some. Condition == true) { // Wait forever until an entry appears on the queue, then read it. Data. Queue. Entry entry = dq. read(); // Write something to the queue. // The other process will read it. dq. write("Some useful information. "); // When all done with the queue, delete it. dq. delete(); // Process the entry's data. String information = entry. get. String(); } 28 © 2005 IBM Corporation

IBM e. Server i. Series RFML (Record Format Markup Language) Very similar to PCML (Program Call Markup Language) While PCML is designed only for Program Parameters, RFML is useful for parsing/composing: §Data queue entries §User spaces §Physical file records §Data buffers Specify record formats using XML; get/set field values Segregate the data layout from the program logic 29 © 2005 IBM Corporation

IBM e. Server i. Series RFML vs. Field. Description Example: Composing a customer record Without RFML: Using RFML: import com. ibm. as 400. access. AS 400 Text; import com. ibm. as 400. access.
