i5/OS Java virtual machine

The IBM^® Toolbox for Java™ classes run on the IBM Developer Kit for Java (i5/OS™) Java virtual machine (JVM).

In fact, the classes run on any platform that supports the Java 2 Software Development Kit (J2SDK) specifications.

When you run IBM Toolbox for Java classes on the i5/OS JVM, do the following:

Choose whether to use the i5/OS JVM or the IBM Toolbox for Java classes to access iSeries™ server resources when running in the i5/OS JVM.
Check out Running IBM Toolbox for Java classes on the i5/OS JVM.
Read about setting system name, user ID, and password in the i5/OS JVM.

For more information about iSeries server support for different Java platforms, see Support for multiple JDKs.

Comparing the i5/OS Java virtual machine and the IBM Toolbox for Java classes
You always have at least two ways to access an iSeries server resource when your Java program is running on the IBM Developer Kit for Java (i5/OS) Java virtual machine (JVM).
Running IBM Toolbox for Java classes on the i5/OS Java virtual machine
There are some special considerations for running the IBM Toolbox for Java classes on the IBM Developer Kit for Java (i5/OS) Java virtual machine (JVM).
Setting system name, user ID, and password with an AS400 object in the i5/OS Java virtual machine
The AS400 object allows special values for system name, user ID, and password when the Java program is running on the IBM Developer Kit for Java (i5/OS) Java virtual machine (JVM).
