The J2EE Connector (J2C) Architecture tools allow you to create J2EE applications that integrate and extend operations and data on their existing Enterprise Information Systems (EIS).
Benefits of using the J2C tools to access EIS systems include:
The J2C tools consist of the following major components:
Once you have installed the J2C feature, you can access the
tutorials by clicking Help > Tutorials Gallery > Do and Learn
from the main menu. Tutorials include:
For more information about the J2C tools, refer to the online help documentation by clicking Help > Help Contents then expanding Developing enterprise applications > Connecting to enterprise information systems.
For information about installing the Rational Application Developer J2C feature, refer to www.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/rad/6001/install_instruction/ifeature_j2c/install_6001.html
Refer to the installation instructions for the hardware requirements for installing the Rational Application Developer J2C feature.
If
you develop an application using the J2C tools in Rational Application
Developer and run it on WebSphere Application Server Version 5, ensure
that you have the required maintenance applied to WebSphere Application
Server Version 5. Refer to Section 2.2.1 WebSphere
Application Server for details.
Refer to the
installation instructions for more details on software and
specifications that are supported by the Rational Application Developer
J2C feature.
For details on software and specifications that are supported by a specific tool in Rational Application Developer, refer to the online help.
You must have IBM Rational Application Developer Version 6.0.0.1 installed before installing this feature.
WebSphere V5.0 and WebSphere V5.1 support J2C 1.0. The WebSphere Application Server service levels required to use the J2EE Connector Tools are listed in the table below. The Legacy Test Environments available with Rational Application Developer V6.0 require the service listed under WAS Distributed Service Level Required column in the table. WebSphere Application Server cumulative fixes, for example WAS 5.0.2.8, are available from the WebSphere Application Server support site (www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/was/support). The Integration Edition RunTime Fixes for 5.0 and 5.1 are available from www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&context=SSEQTP&dc=D410&dc=D420&uid=swg24004796&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en. WebSphere Application Server for z/OS PTFs are available from the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS support site /www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/zos_os390/support/

Eclipse is an open-source project that delivers a framework for developing plug-ins that make it easier to create, integrate, and use software tools. By collaborating and sharing core integration technology, tool producers can concentrate on their areas of expertise and the creation of new development technology. The Eclipse platform is written in the Java language and comes with extensive toolkits and examples for construction plug-ins. It has already been deployed on a range of operating system environments including Linux®, Mac OS X, QNX, and Windows®-based systems. Full details of the Eclipse community and white papers documenting the design of the Eclipse platform are available at www.eclipse.org.
Plug-in tools from other vendors, also built using the open-source Eclipse platform, integrate with the Rational Developer environment to provide additional value.
