You can use iSeries Java development tools to convert existing iSeries applications to Java client applications that access iSeries data and resources.
For example, the Program Call wizard creates Java beans and Program Call Markup Language (PCML) files to call your iSeries programs or service programs, such as those written in COBOL or RPG. You can even have a PCML file automatically generated directly from COBOL or RPG source. You can also create Web services using the Java beans with the Web Services wizard.
In addition, you can find a set of iSeries-specific Java beans in the com.ibm.etools.iseries.toolbox plug-in that can access and format your iSeries data. These beans are in libraries that can be imported to the Java Visual Editor palette. See the related sample on using the Java Visual Editor with your iSeries projects. Also, a subset of these beans is provided as examples in the Java Bean Examples wizard.
