i made an app. in java, where i want to access that db2 database.

You would first need to find out which of the many many ways of doing this your site has decided to support. On the mainframe side, they may have implemented JDBC connectors, or maybe a DataBean interface, or maybe an ODBC-type interface. Like you said, there are a lot of ways to do it.

However, if you pick a different one than the folks running them mainframe picked, you won't get connected.

Ask around at your shop and find out what other mainframe apps are sending data to java apps, then do whatever they did. The only thing I can tell you with any certainty is that you aren't going to like it. No matter what they used, you're going to think they should have used something else.

Also, don't confuse the connection layers with the tools that work on them. We just went through that this week. I was hearing things like "this is how this system passes data" when if fact, it was how the WebSphere wizard works. Once you looked at the code the wizard generated, you could see what was really happening.

ED Goodman:

Thanks for your reply.
actually my all application were in same platform.this new application i never developed.i am developing it first time.i know many of sites using web interface in java/.net/php uses mainframe as backend but no idea about their technical connectivity.i want to know how can i go for this application (web page in front and mainframe db2 as backend).

I get that you are doing this for the first time. What I'm telling you is that for that particular mainframe where your DB2 is stored, it is NOT the first time someone needed to do it. Therefore, that mainframe has already (probably) created a conduit that you should use. You need to research your site specifically and find out what has already been installed to be used.

Once you know that they are using a given connectivity method, then you can find out how to do the Windows side of it. You'll use the Windows method that matches the method that is already working on your mainframe.

Hello Shuzzeus,

You can get this done by installing a driver(Type 4) Connection. There is book on " Application Programming guide and Reference for Java - SC18-7414-05". You can also review on JZOS which comes with JAVA install pack(/usr/lpp/java/j6_0_1).

This code will connect the DB2 :-

 import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
 import java.sql.ResultSet;
 import java.sql.DriverManager;
 import java.sql.Connection;
 import java.sql.SQLException;
 public class Sample
 {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws ClassNotFoundException
      {
         System.out.println("CONNECTING TO DATABASE");
         try
         {
         String locale1 = System.getProperty("user.language");
         System.out.println("The Locale of the system is:"+locale1);
         String useName = System.getProperty("user.name");
         System.out.println("The User of the system is: "+useName);
               Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver");
               String url="jdbc:db2://x.x.xxx.x:446/DB2LOCATION";

               String user="CUSTOM1";
               String password="abc123";
        Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,password);
               PreparedStatement psmt=null;
               ResultSet rs=null;
               if (con != null)
                {
                   System.out.println("CONNECTED TO DB");
                   psmt = con.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM STUDENT");
                   rs = psmt.executeQuery();
                   if (rs != null)
                   {
                     System.out.println("FETCHING");
                     while (rs.next())
                     {
                       System.out.println(rs.getString(2));
                     }
                   }
                }
               else
               {
                  System.out.println("NOT CONNECTED");
               }
           }
          catch(SQLException e)
          {
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
       }
    }

The Java program would use your favorite SOAP (or MQ) infrastructure to communicate with the CICS/COBOL program. For option 2, your CICS/COBOL program would have to be coded to be "web-aware." The CICS/COBOL program would have to use the WEB EXTRACT, WEB RECEIVE, and WEB SEND APIs to communicate with the Java program.
