Vaccess classes

The Vaccess package and its classes have been deprecated. You are advised to use the Access package in combination with Java™ Swing instead.

IBM^® Toolbox for Java provides a set of graphical user interface (GUI) classes in the vaccess package. These classes use the access classes to retrieve data and to present the data to the user.

Java programs that use the IBM Toolbox for Java vaccess classes require the Swing package, which comes with the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE). For more information about Swing, see the Sun Java Foundation Classes Link outside Information Center Web site.

For more information about the relationships between the IBM Toolbox for Java GUI classes, the Access classes, and Java Swing, see the Vaccess classes diagram.

Use the AS400 panes classes to display iSeries™ data.

APIs are available to access the following iSeries resources and their tools:

Command call
Data queues
Error events*
Integrated file system
JavaApplicationCall
JDBC
Jobs*
Messages*
Permission
Print* including the spooled file viewer
ProgramCall and ProgramParameter
Record-level access
Resource lists
System status
System values
Users and Groups

Note: AS400 panes are used with other vaccess classes (see items marked above with an asterisk) to present and allow manipulation of iSeries resources.

When programming with the IBM Toolbox for Java graphical user interface components, use the Error events classes to report and handle error events to the user.

See Access classes for more information about accessing iSeries data.
