The jserver class is a wrapper for the J Automation objects JEXEServer and JDLLServer. The jserver.class is in package isi.ijserver (Iverson Software Inc.) and is distributed with the J system. To use a J object you import isi.ijserver into a Java source file and use the class methods and fields.
The jserver class provides identical access for all JVMs to J Automation objects and it provides methods that simplify mapping J data to Java. The jserver class uses native methods in a C++ dll. There are two versions of the native method dll: jsnmms.dll (J Server Native Method MS) and jsnmns.dll (Netscape and other JVMs).
The jserver class uses native methods and must exist in the local file system. The class and native method dlls must be in the J system\extras\java\classes\isi\jserver directory. This path is added to the Java classpath environment variable when J is installed.
