The "NetCOBOL J Adapter Class Generator" is a tool that generates a COBOL class (adapter class) used to call a Java class. Using the adapter class thus generated makes the Java class library available from COBOL.
A Java runtime environment must be installed to execute the generator or the adapter class generated. See "1.4 Preparation" for required products.
Purpose of This Manual
This manual provides information on how to enable COBOL programs to use Java classes. The information includes the ways of creating adapter classes, writing programs, and running the programs.
Refer to the "NetCOBOL Language Reference" for the COBOL syntax. For information on how to develop programs using Fujitsu NetCOBOL, refer to the "NetCOBOL User's Guide".
Intended Readers
This manual is intended for persons who develop COBOL programs using Java classes.
Prerequisites
Readers are required to have the following knowledge to read this manual:
Basic knowledge of COBOL syntax
Basic knowledge of COBOL object-oriented programming
Basic knowledge of Java
Organization of This Manual
This manual consists of the following chapters:
Chapter 1 explains the function and operating environment of the J adapter class generator.
Chapter 2 explains the framework of the J adapter class generator.
Chapter 3 explains how to develop programs that uses Java classes.
Chapter 4 explains how to use the generator command (java2cob).
Chapter 5 provides detailed information on the FJ-JAVA-BASE, FJ-JAVA-CONTROL and FJ-JAVA-ERROR classes provided by the J adapter class generator, and adapter classes generated by the J adapter class generator.
Appendix A explains the messages output by the J adapter class generator, including the operator responses to the messages.
The Appendix B describes the types of exception generated by the J adapter class generator and their remedial measures.
How to Use This Manual
When using the J adapter class generator for the first time, begin to read from Chapter 1. Chapter 1 provides an outline of the J adapter class generator, Chapter 2 explains the framework, and Chapter 3 explains the procedures from development to execution.
Chapters 4 and 5 provide detailed information on how to use commands and classes. Read these chapters for program development.
The Appendix A describes the messages that are output form the J adapter class generator and the Appendix B describes the exception types that the J adapter class generator sets. Read them as necessity requires.
