  1. Jadabas Bruce Beaman Senior Manager, Product Marketing Software AG USA, Inc. Connecting Adabas to Web Applications

  2. How Javabas became Jadabas • Names that didn’t make the final cut... • Konabas • Balibase • Samoabase • Krakatoabase • J-base • and my personal favorite…. Jaba-the-hut base

  3. Jadabas - Connecting Adabas to the Web • What is Jadabas? • Jadabas simplifies access to Adabas from Java-based applications by generating an access layer for Adabas files. It is an API library that contains all the necessary methods to encapsulate Adabas direct calls. • What does Jadabas consist of? • Collection of classes- containing the method stubs for Adabas interface • Generator facility - to produce file or view-specific classes using pre-defined Jadabas classes and info from Natural or a flat file • Jadabas proxy - an API library that contains all necessary methods to encapsulate Adabas direct calls.

  4. NATURAL DDM EMPLOYEES Java source Employees.java Generate javac Java object Employees.class Generating Java classes • Java applet ‘Generate’ or ‘Genddm’ runs on the client. • Natural - ‘Generate’ accesses DDM on the server • Non-Natural - ‘Genddm’ uses layout from SYSTRANS or a flat file. • Fields can be selected from the DDM. • Java source file output.

  5. Generating Java classes Production Web application Jadabas Development Applet DDM Information Jadabas Generated Class Java Runtime Jadabas Classes Adabas

  6. Employees.class The generated Java class • Field character encoding conversion • Little Endian/Big Endian conversion. • IBM/VAX/IEEE floating point format conversion • Only the non-blank length of Alpha fields are transferred. • Only the stored occurrences of MU fields are transferred. Properties (derived from DDM) public int ISN; public String Personnel_id; public String First_name; public String Name; public String Middle_name; public String Mar_stat; public String Sex; : Methods (same for all classes) Find Update Read Delete Histogram Hold Store Release

  7. ADABAS.class Jadabas Run-time • Contains the meat of the generated class methods • Provides most ADABAS functionality • Makes good use of multi-fetch functionality • Contains support routines e.g. format conversion Properties private byte[] prefix = {0,0}; String command_code; protected int commandId = getcid(); int fileNumber; int response; int isn; … etc Methods Find Read Histogram Store Update Delete Hold Release Open Close EndTransaction etc.

  8. PROXY CLIENT CLIENT ADABAS Entire Net-work Jadabas Connectivity • Client / Proxy / Net- Work / ADABAS communication • multiple clients connect to proxy and proxy connects to ADABAS • way of saving on multiple clients connected to Adabas • via TCP/IP • for Adabas MF and Adabas on Open Systems

  9. Example Java program // This program lists all employees with surname “JONES”. import com.softwareag.javabas.*; // note 1 import com.softwareag.XTS.*; public class etest { public static final void main(String args[]) { DefaultDirectory dd = new DefaultDirectoy(); // note 2 XTS.setDirectory (dd); dd.setLocalService(true); try {dd.add(“XTSaccess”, new XTSurl (“198”,”Wrdserv:8888”));} catch (Exception ex) {} Employees.setFNR(7,1); // note 3 Employees x[]= Employees.FindAll(Employees.NAME,ADABAS.EQ,"JONES"); // note 4 for(int i=0;i<x.length;i++) // note 5 System.out.println(x[i].Name+"\t"+ x[i].First_name+"\t\t"+ x[i].Address_line[0]); }} Notes 1. The import statement tells the compiler where to get class definitions for type checking. 2. The setLocalService method of DefaultDirectory indicates the connection address. 3. The setFNR method changes the DBID and/or FNR from the default. 4. The FindAll method returns an array of Employee objects, representing the result. 5. The results are displayed on the console.

  12. The next release of Jadabas... • Jadabas v7121 • various bug fixes • ADASAF and ADAESI enhancements • NC and NN field types supported • more documentation • Later - support on UNIX platform (HP, Solaris, AIX)

  13. Jadabas Benefits • Integrates existing enterprise data into new Java-based applications • Less training effort : for Java programmers • they do not need to learn Adabas direct access syntax • can stay focused on Java programming tasks • Familiar syntax: for Natural programmers • High productivity : by automatic creation of the code • 100% Pure Java : connects across platforms providing interoperability • High performance : due to early binding, multi-fetch, and compressed record transfer • Flexibility : translation done by client enables mixed character encoding in same file

  14. Thank you!
