The SAS/CONNECT driver for Java provides the Java classes that enable you to write
Java programs that communicate with a SAS/CONNECT server.
It enables you to take advantage of the computational capabilities of SAS
from within your Java applications, applets, and servlets. (While the SAS/CONNECT
driver for Java classes can be used to create
Java applets, applications, and servlets, this documentation focuses
primarily on applet development.)
Using the SAS/CONNECT driver for Java, you can create
Java applications or applets that start a SAS session, connect to that
session, create data sets, access existing SAS data, run procedures to
analyze SAS data, and retrieve the results.
The SAS/CONNECT driver for Java enables you to take advantage of remote computing resources
on the SAS server machine. These remote capabilities turn your
Java applications and applets into thin-client Web applications.
In addition to enabling you to submit SAS statements, the SAS/CONNECT driver for Java
classes also
provide a way to submit SQL statements, so you can access and update SAS
data from your SAS/CONNECT driver for Java applets. You should also investigate using the
tunnel feature
that is available for use with the SAS/IntrNet Java components.
