Note 6: Serializing your PCML file during development has two benefits:

  1. You need to parse the PCML file only during development and not during run-time
  2. Users need fewer jar files in their CLASSPATH to run the application

To parse the PCML file during development, you need both the PCML run-time in data.jar or jt400.jar and the PCML parser in x4j400.jar. To run the serialized application , users need only jt400.jar. For more information see Building iSeries program calls with PCML.
