Toolbox for Java Enhancement

IBM Toolbox for Java also includes enhancements to existing classes. These enhancements offer:

• Improvements to program call to support maximum 255 parameters.
   
• Improvements to AS400 to support set IASP information
   
• Improvements to program call and service program call on IASP
   
• Improvements to escape special characters when generating xpcml file
   
• Improvements PCML maximum string length to 16MB
   
• Add surrogate support for conversion
   
• Improvements to IFS file name handling.
   
• Enhancements to the JarMaker and AS400ToolboxJarMaker utilities to make them more effective at reducing JAR sizes.
   
• Updates to FTP and AS400FTP to avoid possible hang conditions when trying to get a file that was not found.
   
• Changes to several JDBC classes. Notable changes include the following:
  • JDBC 4.2 support
  • Increased the statement size limit from 65535 bytes to 2 megabytes, or 2097152 bytes.
  • Increased the size of column names supported for SQL tables from 30 bytes to 128 bytes. There is one exception where 128 byte column names will not be returned. When local package caching is used and column names exceed 30 characters, the server will return the column names as the system column name.
  • A new option was added to the JDBC driver to turn on database host server tracing. To support this feature, option "64" was added to the "server trace" connection property.
  • AS400JDBCConnection objects can now accept and IBM Enterprise Workload Manager (eWLM) correlator and pass it on to the host as a connection attribute correlator for use with the Application Response Measurement (ARM) APIs.
