Deleting a Badly Named IFS File

July 19, 2002 Timothy Prickett Morgan

Hey, Ted:

In regards to deleting poorly named files in the IFS, couldn’t you also map a network drive to the iSeries? Once you are there, you could use Windows Explorer or similar tool to delete the file.

Good suggestion, Wyatt. I tried it to see for myself how it worked. I used an FTP client to create a file named ‘lotusdata, then mapped the IFS directory as you suggested. Windows Explorer did not list the file.

Dear Readers:

Here are yet more short answers to a variety of questions. I hope you find something of use.

Question:

When I run the Create Java Program (CRTJVAPGM) command, where does the compiled code go?

Answer:

The optimized program becomes part of the class, jar, or zip file. You can verify this with the Work with Object Links (WRKLNK) command.

Use WRKLNK to display the directory in which the class, jar, or zip file resides. Use option 8 to display the file attributes and page to the second panel. Note the allocated size of object. Run CRTJVAPGM, then view

Populating JavaBeans from Database Values

July 19, 2002 Timothy Prickett Morgan

Hey, David:

I am trying to build my first database inquiry Servlet using Java and Tomcat. I defined my screen in a Java class and use another Java class to retrieve the database values. When I display the screen, I end up with a lot of statements that set a value using the corresponding getter from the database class. Those calls look like this example:

SetCustomer(getCustomer()); 
SetCustomerName(getCustomerName()); 

Before I start using this program as a base for another Servlet, I would like to eliminate these calls. Do you have any ideas how I would do this?
