|
|
<div><p>The DataQueue classes allow the Java™ program to interact with server data
|
|
queues. </p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Data queues on iSeries™ servers have the following characteristics:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>The data queue allows for fast communications between jobs. Therefore,
|
|
it is an excellent way to synchronize and pass data between jobs.</li>
|
|
<li>Many jobs can simultaneously access the data queues.</li>
|
|
<li>Messages on a data queue are free format. Fields are not required as they
|
|
are in database files.</li>
|
|
<li>The data queue can be used for either synchronous or asynchronous processing.</li>
|
|
<li>The messages on a data queue can be ordered in one the following ways:
|
|
<ul><li>Last-in first-out (LIFO). The last (newest) message that is placed on
|
|
the data queue is the first message that is taken off the queue.</li>
|
|
<li>First-in first-out (FIFO). The first (oldest) message that is placed on
|
|
the data queue is the first message that is taken off the queue.</li>
|
|
<li>Keyed. Each message on the data queue has a key associated with it. A
|
|
message can be taken off the queue only by specifying the key that is associated
|
|
with it.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The data queue classes provide a complete set of interfaces for accessing
|
|
server data queues from your Java program. It is an excellent way to
|
|
communicate between Java programs and programs on the server
|
|
that are written in any programming language.</p>
|
|
<p>A required parameter of
|
|
each data queue object is the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/AS400.html#NAVBAR_TOP">AS400</a> object that represents the server that has the
|
|
data queue or where the data queue is to be created.</p>
|
|
<p>Using the data
|
|
queue classes causes the AS400 object to connect to the server. See <a href="mngcon.htm#mngcon">managing connections</a> for information about
|
|
managing connections.</p>
|
|
<p>Each data queue object requires the integrated
|
|
file system path name of the data queue. The type for the data queue is DTAQ.
|
|
See <a href="ifspath.htm#ifspath"> integrated file system path names</a> for
|
|
more information. </p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="dtaq__sequentialandkeyeddataqueues"><a name="dtaq__sequentialandkeyeddataqueues"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectiontitle">Sequential and keyed data
|
|
queues</h4><p>The data queue classes support the following data queues:</p>
|
|
<ul><li><a href="dtaqseq.htm#dtaqseq">Sequential data queues</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="dtaqkey.htm#dtaqkey">Keyed data queues</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Methods common to both types of queues are in the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/BaseDataQueue.html#NAVBAR_TOP">BaseDataQueue</a> class.
|
|
The <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/DataQueue.html#NAVBAR_TOP"> DataQueue</a> class extends the BaseDataQueue class in order
|
|
to complete the implementation of sequential data queues. The BaseDataQueue
|
|
class is extended by the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/KeyedDataQueue.html#NAVBAR_TOP"> KeyedDataQueue</a> class to complete the implementation
|
|
of keyed data queues.</p>
|
|
<p>When data is read from a data queue, the data
|
|
is placed in a <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/DataQueueEntry.html#NAVBAR_TOP"> DataQueueEntry</a> object. This object holds the data for
|
|
both keyed and sequential data queues. Additional data available when reading
|
|
from a keyed data queue is placed in a <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/KeyedDataQueueEntry.html#NAVBAR_TOP"> KeyedDataQueueEntry</a> object that extends the DataQueueEntry
|
|
class.</p>
|
|
<p>The data queue classes do not alter data that is written to or
|
|
is read from the server data queue. The Java program must correctly format the data.
|
|
The <a href="dtad.htm#dtad">data conversion classes</a> provide methods
|
|
for converting data.</p>
