Deploy 3270 protocol in Java

I have a big problem with IBM HACL to access a server that speaks 3270. The library continues to crash, and our JNI wrapper is actually a bug fix for a poorly implemented and poorly documented library (and I suspect that we also introduced new bugs). Moreover, in our company everyone knows Java and can support software if we did not have a JNI layer and an IBM class library.

We must use the C ++ class library because the IBM Java library is unusable: we translate every non-printable character and lose all control characters along the way.

Now the question arises: can we port this library and fully implement our solution in Java (we would like to avoid using another library from another provider)? Is the protocol well documented? Is the 3270-over-ssl implementation very complex?

Thank.

so I suppose it was documented (assuming I got into the right document) I couldn’t find the Java implementation, but you will need to encode it via telnet or maybe SSH

Freehost is not good code. Don't even try to do it. There is a reason that he seems dead. JIN TN3270 is better, but incomplete. Ideally, you want to find an API that uses your company's Emulator software. I'm still looking for one for ours.

Another option would be h3270 . This is the Java interface for the x3270 toolkit.
