Access COBOL programs in Mainframes from Java

I am having COBOL programs, which is running in Mainframes. I need to re-use the business logic in the COBOL programs in my J2EE based web application. Can some one let me know the various possibilities regarding the same?
Please mail me the details to [email protected]

Hello,
To access to your cobol programs running on mainframe, there are better and more mature solutions than JBI.
The first solution is to use JCA connectors. If your cobol programs run with CICS or IMS it is very easy to access them. I recommend you the Comporsys connectors. it is a very Efficient solution. JCA for IMS and CICS are synchonous ans support Transactions
The second can be MQ series (asynchronous). If you can access to your programs through MS, implement MQ on your J2EE serveur. MQ is a wonderful product.
Third solution can be use if you only access to your programs through a terminal. It exists JCA connector that simulate Mainframe terminal. I have less skill on this product.
I hope this will help you

Hello friends,

Once you mounted the CDROM (something maybe as /media/cdrom) as a file system (or assigned a drive letter to it like D: or F: or whatever), the files are accessible normally.

How to create and execute PL/SQL program or Procedure from Java (JDBC)

hi all,
user will enter the Pl/Sql program from User-Interface. that program has to be create in DB and execute that.
due to some confusions, how to execute this from Java, i (user) entered the same logic through a Procedure.
my Java code is
Statement st = con.createStatement();
Statement.execute(procedure_query); // procedure name is myPro
CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall("{call myPro}");
(as given in SUN docs - http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/basics/sql.html)
but its not creating the procedure.
and i tried to run a procedure (which is already created) with CallableStatement, and this is also not working.
how to get this.
thanks and regards
pavan

Hi,
SInce the PL/SQL block is keyed in dynamically, you probably want to use the anonymous PL/SQL syntax for invoking it:
// begin ? := func (?, ?); end; -- a result is returned to a variable
CallableStatement cstmt3 =
conn.prepareCall(“begin ? := func3(?, ?); end;”);
// begin proc(?, ?); end; -- Does not return a result
CallableStatement cstmt4 =
Conn.prepareCall(“begin proc4(?, ?); end;”);
SQLJ covered in chapter 10, 11, and 12 of my book furnish a more versatile dynamic SQl or PL/SQL mechanisms.

Accessing XI Tables (ABAP Stack) from Java code

Hi,
IS it possible to access tables like SXMSPMAST, SXMSPEMAS directly from Java code without the use of any RFC or BAPI in between?
Cheers,
Earlence

I think it is technically possible, as you can get access to the JDBC Connector service using J2EE's JNDI feature ... Then you can use the internal DB datasource to read data from tables (read ONLY, cuz I'm not sure it is a good idea to update data "outside" the box, and reading can also have potiential perf or stability issue) ... Some (better) methods can also exist !

Need to access/connect Remote Unix server from Java

Please any one give me a direct solution for connecting a remote Unix server through telnet connection from java application. Thanks in advance..

If I run the below program codes, in the console it is asking to enter username and password in manual but I need to give it automatically.
The highlighted "root" is entered by the user manually using keyboard.
Expected:
I mean the username, password and some action is set to be automatic, so that it should not ask the user to enter the input from keyboard.

which is deprecated, so I'd like to aviod it if possible in any way...
Any ideas? I couldn't find anything useful, please help.

Access to JSTL localization data from java/javascript

The core problem is very basic - I need to have access to same localization data both from JSP and Javascript code.
I successfully localized JSP data using
fmt:setLocale and fmt:message that read from messages_xx.properties files.
I want to have access to same locale strings (messages_xx.properties) data from javascript code. I am going to use code like -
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var LocalizedStrings = {
<%
// Here we obtain strings from .properties files
// maybe using something like
// some_bundle = some_context.getBundle("???")
out.println("key1: \"String 1\"");
// printing out data from our bundle
%>
Could anybody point me how can I obtain the needed data, or maybe I have used the wrong library for achieving my purpose? I didn't find any such example for current library

And finally I found an evident solution, that didn't come into my mind, cause I am new to java resources -
     <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
          var LocalizedStrings = {
          <%
               ResourceBundle mybundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Messages",new Locale("en"));
               Enumeration en = mybundle.getKeys();
               while(en.hasMoreElements()){
                    String key = (String) en.nextElement();
                    String value = mybundle.getString(key);
                    out.print(key);out.print(":");out.println("'"+value+"',");
          %>
     </script>
where XX is the set locale like "en"

Accessing Windows dial-up connections from java

Hello,
Anyone has any idea how to go about accessing Windows existing dialup connections and instruct windows to dial-up to internet using the selected connection profile?

1. why are you using java for a Windows only program?
2. why are you attempting to do something windows specific for
a non-os specific language
WOW!
I've been using java for applications I only run on Windows, Didn't know this is frowned own. You gotta be kidding me right? Do you really think all java programs are written in mind for it be be platform independant? I've been programming in java for around 3 years and we only run it on Windows systems. Non-os specific is nice, but everyone that programs using java isn't looking for that feature. If everyone else out there is only using java because it's platform independance please correct me, I'll be very surprised. One more question, just becaus he is possibly only going to use for a windows program, he should go learn another language? Sorry this post really surprised me.

Accessing variable of a datatable from Java Code

Hello,
I am trying to present a list of objects with a jsf datatable. However, each object needs to be rendered differently, so, I am including another JSP fragment, depending on the datatype.
JSP code follows:
<h:dataTable value="#{pc_ConsultaCliente.dadosCliente.historicoCliente}" var="varhistoricoCliente" styleClass="dataTable" >
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText styleClass="outputText" value="HistoricoCliente"/>
</f:facet>
<%
String toinclude="";
try {
toinclude=FragmentsHandler.getFragmentForBinding(
javax.faces.context.FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(),
"#{varhistoricoCliente}" ,
Contacto.class);
} catch (Exception ex) { throw new RuntimeException(ex); }
%>
<h:panelGroup>
     <jsp:include page="<%= toinclude %>"/>
</h:panelGroup>
</h:column></h:dataTable>
The problem is, when I try to access the varhistoricoCliente from the FragmentsHandler class, I simply can't reach it (I keep on getting null):
In it, I use (I get fc as a Faces Context from the JSP):
public static String getFragmentForBinding(FacesContext fc, String valueBinding, Class defaultClass) throws IOException {
Object o=fc.getApplication().createValueBinding(valueBinding).getValue(fc), defaultClass);
//After this, o just gets null
Is this this right? How can I access the var from the datatable component?
Many thanks!

I'm no JSF expert but I'm not sure your approach can work at all.
I would simplify everything by entering a different tag for each different type of object, and enabling the right one with the "rendered" attribute.
Something like:
<table>
   <column>
     <tag1 rendered="#{myResult.isType1}">...
     <tag2 rendered="#{myResult.isType2}">...
   ...

Access address book of yahoo from Java Progam

The application retrieves the contents of 'address book' when provided with login information of yahoo or any other email account. Can somebody let me know the way to do it??
I believe that for different email service providers, the method to access the address-book would be different. Can anybody leads to any of the service providers??

It likely would be, if it's supported at all. Ask the support department of your service provider.

Unable to access PCD's role properties from Java Web Dynpro (Access Denied

Using the IPcdContext to access the portal roles does not produce the required list of roles due to the following error
Access denied (Object) .....
This occurs once I try to use the lookup() method
I have tried security zones, adding sharingReferences and permission, but no luck.
I have searched the SDN but again whatever I found still gave the same result. I now think that it's a configuration settings rather than code.
Sample code
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, strCurrentUser);
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
//DirContext ictx = new javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext(env);
// InitialDirContext ictx = new InitialDirContext(env);
InitialContext ictx = new InitialContext(env);
lookupObject = "portal_content";
IPcdContext myPcdContext = (IPcdContext) ictx.lookup(lookupObject);
Any suggestion will be appreciated

Rob,
The only thing I see different as per this [document |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6112ecb7-0a01-0010-ef90-941c70c9e401] is following line of codes. Check if adding it resolves the issue:

Remote File accessing from java WebNFS

Hi
I am using java WebNFS package provided by sun to access the remote file system from java class. A class called com.sun.xfile.XFile does this functionality and it is almost similar to java.io.File. My issue is I am trying to lookup a Windows NT File Server through the XFile constructor and list out all the files in a particular directory. When I run the sample class from a Windows Machine it is working fine. But when I run the same class from a Linux machine, the XFile class couldnt resolve the path. Do those Linux server and the Windows NT File server should have been mounted ? Suggestions are welcome. Thx in advance.
