Session: 8368 Title: Java: z/OS Topics - Batch integration, Tomcat, and Eclipse
Abstract: All you ever wanted to know about running Java in z/OS jobs, including how to develop and deploy applications using free tools such as Eclipse and Tomcat. Learn how to:

• Avoid the pitfalls of UNIX System Services / BPXBATCH
• Quickly configure and invoke Java from a batch job or started task
• Direct output from Java to JES SYSOUT datasets
• Exchange condition codes and files with non-Java job steps
• Communicate with a Java application using MVS console commands
• Use Eclipse effectively to develop, test, and 'one-click' deploy your application

In addition, learn how to leverage the power of Tomcat, Apache's free Servlet/JSP container on z/OS:

• Install and configure Tomcat in an hour or less
• Configure JDBC DataSources for pooled DB/2 connections
• Use SAF (RACF/ACF2) for web application security
• Manage Tomcat using MVS console commands
• Use Tomcat as an effective 'on ramp' technology to WebSphere
• Cost-effectively distribute z/OS web applications with a bundled Servlet/JSP engine

The speakers are partners in a small firm that specializes in mainframe Java. They also operate the site: http://jzos.com, which provides free tools and support for z/OS Java.

Session: 8370 Title: Java Lab: WebSphere Application Developer V5 for Java - Part 1 of 3
Abstract: Deliver application solutions more efficiently by exploiting Java and WebSphere. Have you ever wanted to develop either servlets or JSPs for your enterprise application? During this self-directed hands-on tutorial, you will be guided in the basics of how to invoke a simple servlet or JSP (your choice!). This three++ hour hands-on Java/WebSphere lab will be held from 3 PM to 7 PM without full breaks. Short breaks will be scheduled to NOT coincide with normal breaks. We'll have you out of the lab in time to meet your friends at SCIDS and brag about your newly-learned skills. This tutorial session uses WebSphere Studio Application Developer Version 5 (WSAD), which will already be installed when you arrive in the lab. No previous WSAD skills are necessary.
