Long description of Figure 4: Single object using its own service for an instance of an AS400 object is disconnected (rzahh550.gif)

found in IBM^® Toolbox for Java™: Managing connections

This figure illustrates how disconnecting the connection for a single AS400 object does not affect the connections of other AS400 objects.

Description

The figure is composed of the same elements as Figure 1:

• A rectangle on the left represents a Java program
• A rectangle on the right represents an iSeries™ server
• Three vertically aligned small circles between the rectangles represent AS400 objects created by the Java program that connect to the iSeries server

The Java program (the left rectangle) contains several kinds of objects that use the AS400 objects (the vertical line of three small circles). Lines from these program objects connect to the AS400 objects. Each program object requires only one AS400 object to use. However, several program objects of various types can use a single AS400 object to connect to the iSeries.

Lines from the AS400 objects connect to services contained in the iSeries server (the right rectangle). The services appropriately mirror the program objects. For a specific description of the different program objects, AS400 objects, and iSeries server services, see the description for Figure 1.

The connection for a single AS400 object is highlighted to show how disconnecting it does not affect the connections of the other AS400 objects. That connection consists of an integrated file system object, the AS400 object that it uses, the associated iSeries server service (a file server job), and the lines that connect them all. None of the other program objects, lines, AS400 objects, or services are highlighted.
