The Java Development Kit provides the tools and environment you need to develop Java applications and applets. To access DB2 databases, you also need to use the DB2 JDBC driver that comes with DB2. The driver supports Sun Microsystem's Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) application programming interface (API), which provides a standard way to access databases from Java code.
Java applications require the DB2 Client Application Enabler to access DB2 databases. Java applets run using a Java-enabled Web browser, and do not require the DB2 Client Application Enabler to be installed on the client.
You can also use the Java programming language to develop user-defined functions and stored procedures which run on the server. These topics are discussed in "User-defined Functions" and "Stored Procedures".
For more information about developing Java applications and applets, refer to "Using Java".
