Installing Sun 3270 Pathway

When you unpackage the compressed archive you will have access to the following:

  1. The 3270 Pathway Java Bean
  2. The 3270 Pathway Recorder
  3. The 3270 Pathway Terminal
  4. The 3270 Pathway Router
  5. The 3270 Pathway Java Bean API Reference guide.
  6. The HTML ReadMe files.
  7. Sample Java Applications and Applets

These will be located in the newly formed directory structure on your hard disk. This will be similar to the following (this example demonstrating unzipping the compressed archive to C:\ )

c:\pathway
c:\pathway\bin
c:\pathway\doc
c:\pathway\doc\images
c:\pathway\doc\emulator
c:\pathway\doc\emulator\images
c:\pathway\JRE              ( Microsoft Windows installation only )
c:\pathway\lib
c:\pathway\samples
c:\pathway\samples\clientapis
c:\pathway\samples\clientapis\emulator

This online documentation will refer to the top level directory ( c:\pathway in the above example ) as INSTALL_DIR.

To use the 3270 Pathway Bean, you only need to have the file kixemuapi.jar which can be located in pathway\lib.

Before using the supplied bean, you should think carefully about your setting of the CLASSPATH environment variable. Further information on this can be found in the section Setting the Classpath.
