HiT JDBC/400

HiT JDBC/400 (for System i, i5 or AS/400) is compact 100% Pure Java middleware for System i and AS/400 DB2 SQL access from custom applications and third party products. HiT JDBC/400 accepts standard Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) function calls and communicates with the AS/400 server to retrieve, update, and insert DB2 data (type 4 driver). All communication with the DB2/400 server can also be optionally encrypted and authenticated via SSL v3.0 support. Leveraging the IBM Optimized Database Server protocol standard, HiT JDBC/400 uses native IBM iSeries and AS/400 server programs and does not require any additional AS/400 software. HiT JDBC/400 works with any operating system running JVM 1.02 or later, including Windows, Unix, Linux, IBM OS/400 and IBM OS/390.

HiT JDBC/400 (for System i, i5 or AS/400) supports full SQL functionality (via JDBC level 3.0 conformance) for maximum application performance including stored procedures, multiple result sets, and static SQL/packages. Multi-threading support ensures high performance for applications. JDBC level 3 compliance offers Java developers powerful new data access techniques including scrollable result sets, batch updates, savepoints, connection pool configuration, retrieval of parameter metadata, retrieval of auto-generated keys, database metadata APIs, holdable cursor support, ARRAY, REF and boolean data types, international Unicode and time zone support, and updatable BLOB/CLOB fields.

HiT JDBC/400 can be used with all major Java application development tools. HiT JDBC/400 is extremely reliable and has evolved a robust feature set. Multi-threading support ensures high performance for all applications. For high-security applications, data encryption and authentication services can be enabled using HiT SSL Server, a secure server that uses the Secure Sockets Layer Protocol.

HiT JDBC/400 integrates seamlessly with application servers including BEA/Weblogic, WebSphere and others.

HiT JDBC/400 v1.4 should be used with JDK v1.1 and earlier, and it supports JDBC 2.0.

HiT JDBC/400 v3.x should be used with JDK 1.2 and later, and it supports both JDBC 2.0 and 3.0.
