The Basics of ILE Service Programs
by Kevin Vandever
In the article "Calling RPG Native Methods from Java,"
I explain how to call native methods from a local Java application, using the Java Native Interface. Native methods are just a hopped up version of ILE
service programs that are defined in, and called from, a Java application. However, there may be some out
there who don't really know what a service program is, let alone a native method, so I thought I would
introduce the basics to get you started.

Basic HTML: Headers, Bodies, and Flying Text
by Shannon O'Donnell
In the last issue, I
introduced you to HTML and gave you a good idea of just how easy it is to create static Web pages. In this
issue, I'm going to expand on that concept a bit, by showing you how to use some of the other more
common HTML tags for creating and defining static HTML pages, by taking advantage of the structure of
HTML, and by arranging your text in more eye-pleasing ways.

Getting Acquainted with Grep
by Ted Holt
Grep is a scan utility that originated with Unix systems but is now implemented in many operating systems,
including the Qshell environment in OS/400. iSeries and AS/400 programmers who deal with the
Integrated File System should learn to use grep, because the Find String Using PDM (FNDSTRPDM)
command won't work with IFS files. Those who don't deal with IFS may want use grep because it works
with source physical files and has more powerful search capabilities than FNDSTRPDM.

JSP Server-Side Error Handling, Part 1
by Richard Shaler
In the article "Build
Dynamic Web Apps With iSeries Tomcat," I described how to write a dynamic Web application for an
iSeries system and presented a sample JavaServer Pages application that displays dependent files for any
physical file. The Web application displays any dependent files (indexes or views, in SQL
parlance) associated with the file/table specified by the user.

How Does Your Browser Find a Web Page?
by Shannon O'Donnell
When you open a Web browser and type in a Web address, such as www.itjungle.com, somehow
your computer must locate the computer where Guild Companies' Web pages reside. Then it must pull
those Web pages back to your own computer and display them in your browser. But did you ever wonder
how that works? Actually, it's pretty simple, and in this article you're going to learn how to set up your own
PC so that it can find your iSeries.

Calling RPG Native Methods from Java
by Kevin Vandever
The last time I heard the term native used in connection with the AS/400 was way back when I was
converting programs written in RPG II, running in the System/36 environment, to native RPG/400
programs. Well, native strikes again! This time in the form of RPG native methods, which are RPG-
based subprocedures compiled into ILE service programs, yet defined and called from Java as native
methods. "Hogwash!" you say? "Can't be done!" Well it can. And you can thank the Java Native
Interface for the pleasure.

Reader Feedback and Insights: Thanks for Midrange Programmer!
I never respond or comment to newsletters and mailings, but I have to make an exception in this case.
The newsletter is very well done, and I've already been able to put the JSP article to some use ["JavaServer Pages
101"]. The timing for me was fantastic. I wish you every success with your newsletter.
