Communication of objects including Java bytecodes between 3270 logical units including Java virtual machines

摘要

Java and other objects are integrated with legacy 3270 applications by sending 3270 datastream communications between a primary logical unit (LU) and a secondary LU over a network using 3270 datastream architecture and sending 3270 datastream structured fields including embedded objects such as Java bytecodes between the primary LU and the secondary LU over the network using 3270 datastream architecture. The sending of 3270 datastream communications and the sending of 3270 datastream structured fields are repeated in an arbitrary sequence, to thereby asynchronously send 3270 datastreams and objects such as Java bytecodes between the primary LU and the secondary LU over the network using 3270 datastream architecture. Thus, objects such as Java bytecodes are sent using the LU2 protocol in a manner that need not interfere with legacy communications between a 3270 application and an end user.
