Topic: Exploit the Power of Open Source Java from RPG

In this session you will learn how RPG's Java interface extensions can be used to exploit the wealth of Java Open Source applications.

We will start by explaining the basic RPG syntax extensions and demonstrate how the interface works through practical examples. Examples will include:

* Interfacing with the JavaMail API to easily send email from your RPG programs

* Building pie charts, bar graphs, and more buy interfacing to the JFree.org APIs

We will also discuss how the performance of such Java utilities can be improved through the use of server job and data queue interfaces.
