<div><p>This topic highlights the changes made to IBM<sup>®</sup> Toolbox for Java™ in V5R4.</p>
<div class="section"><p>IBM Toolbox
for Java is
available in the following forms:</p>
<ul><li>The licensed program for IBM Toolbox for Java, 5722-JC1, Version 5 Release 4 (V5R4)
installs on V5R2 and later versions of i5/OS™. From a client, IBM Toolbox for Java connects
back to V5R2 and later versions of i5/OS.</li>
<li>i5/OS also
includes the non-graphical classes of IBM Toolbox for Java optimized for use when running IBM Toolbox
for Java classes
on the iSeries™ Java virtual
machine (JVM). So if, for example, you do not have a need for the graphical
functionality of the licensed program, you can still easily use IBM Toolbox for Java.
For more information, see <a href="jarfilelist.htm#jarfilelist">Jar files</a>.</li>
<li>IBM Toolbox
for Java is
also available in an open source version. You can download the code and get
more information from the <a href="http://jt400.sourceforge.net" target="_blank"> JTOpen</a><img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" /> Web site.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Enhancements to IBM Toolbox for Java JDBC support</h4><p>For information
about enhanced JDBC functions, see <a href="jdbcenhancev5r4.htm#jdbcenhancev5r4">Enhancements to IBM Toolbox for Java JDBC support for V5R4</a>.
For information about new JDBC properties, see <a href="jdbcproperties.htm">IBM Toolbox for Java JDBC properties</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">New classes</h4><div class="p">The following classes have been added
since V5R3. All classes listed here are in package "com.ibm.as400.access,"
unless otherwise noted.<ul><li><a href="bidicon.htm#bidiconversionproperties">BidiConversionProperties</a></li>
<li><a href="rzahhcallstackentry.htm#rzahhcallstackentry">CallStackEntry</a></li>

</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Enhanced classes</h4><div class="p">Significant enhancements were made
to the following classes. All classes listed here are in package "com.ibm.as400.access,"
unless otherwise noted.<ul><li>Many of the <a href="jdbc.htm">JDBC classes</a></li>
<li><a href="ifsfile.htm">IFSFile class</a></li>
<li><a href="jar.htm">JarMaker and AS400ToolboxJarMaker</a> (in
the "utilities" package)</li>
<li><a href="ftp.htm">FTP and AS400FTP</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Deprecated packages</h4><p>The following packages have
been deprecated since V5R3:</p>
<ul><li>com.ibm.as400.vaccess</li>
<li>com.ibm.as400.resource</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Deprecated classes</h4><div class="p">The following classes have been
deprecated since V5R3:<ul><li>utilities.AS400ToolboxInstaller</li>
<li>com.ibm.as400.access.NetServer has been replaced by <a href="iseriesnetserver.htm#iseriesnetserver">ISeriesNetServer</a>.</li>
<li>com.ibm.as400.access.IFSTextFileInputStream has been replaced by <a href="ifsfilereader.htm#ifsfilereader">IFSFileReader</a>.</li>
<li>com.ibm.as400.access.IFSTextFileOutputStream has been replaced by <a href="ifsfilewriter.htm#ifsfilewriter">IFSFileWriter</a>.</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Compatibility</h4><div class="p">The IBM Toolbox for Java no longer ships the x4j400.jar (IBM XML
parser). It is recommended that applications use one of the following JAXP-compliant
XML parsers:<ul><li>The XML parser that is built into JDK 1.4 and higher</li>
<li>The Apache Xerces XML parser available from <a href="http://xml.apache.org" target="_blank">xml.apache.org</a><img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside of Information Center" /></li>
<li>One of the XML parsers that ship on i5/OS under /QIBM/ProdData/OS400/xml/lib</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>IBM Toolbox
for Java no
longer supports running in the default JVM in Netscape Navigator or Microsoft<sup>®</sup> Internet
Explorer. Running applets that use IBM Toolbox for Java classes in a browser requires that
you install a plug-in such as the most recent <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/" target="_blank">Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE) plug-in</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" />.</p>
<p>IBM Toolbox
for Java no
longer includes data400.jar. The classes that were in data400.jar are now
in jt400.jar. Remove data400.jar from your CLASSPATH statements.</p>
<p>You
cannot use this release of IBM Toolbox for Java to deserialize some objects that you
serialized using releases before V5R1.</p>
<p>If you are using Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) to encrypt data flowing between the client and the server, you
must use Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE). </p>
<p>To use all
the IBM Toolbox
for Java classes,
use the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE). Using the
vaccess classes or the Graphical Toolbox requires using the Swing package,
which comes with J2SE. Using PDML requires that you run version 1.4 or later
of the Java Runtime Environment.</p>
<p>For more information,
review the <a href="rzahnm0402.htm#rzahnm0402">i5/OS requirements for running IBM Toolbox for Java</a>.</p>
