QCDemo (called QCOpNav when launched from MEU)
demonstrates using the AS/400 Java
Beans contained in the JTOpen
project to remotely connect to and explore your AS/400 midrange computer.
The name "QC" stands for Quatre Cent, i.e., 400 :-)
QCDemo comes with full source code which is released under an open source
license so that you may modify it to use this source on your own project
if you find it useful or helpful.
QCDemo is a tabbed notebook. Each tabbed page demostrates one or more
JTOpen beans.
The QCDemo tabbed notebook was developed using Sun
Forte for Java. All the .form files which go with the Forte project
are included, but are not necessary to build and/or modify QCDemo for your
use.
-
Some display logic cleanup.
-
Integrated with MEU.
-
Cute little icon.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY FOR THIS
FREE SOFTWARE. QCDemo can modify files and settings on any AS/400
to which it is connected. To the best of our belief, it performs exactly
what you direct it to do, which is dangerous enough, isn't it? Other slightly
dangerous aspects of JTOpen itself include the following:
-
Your logins are real, so three password failures and you may be locked
out of your account until QSECOFR deals with it.
-
YOUR LOGINS AND DATA GO OVER THE NETWORK UNENCRYPTED.
There is indeed a SecureAS400 component in the JTOpen toolkit, but
your author didn't use it in QCDemo.
The author thanks the International
Business Machines Corporation for participating in the open source
community and notes all the fine work done by open source enthusiasts both
working for IBM and as customers of IBM on so many IBM platforms. And thanks
to you for trying out QCDemo and reporting
any problems you find.
