Part 2: Specifying parameters using a String array |

You may have noticed that the number of system parameters that can be passed as single String values to the createClient() method is somewhat limited. Largely, these connections are limited to specifying user ID, password, and the basic parameters to connect to an SAP application server. However, the JCo API allows you to pass over 30 additional system parameters to SAP! So how can you utilize these additional parameters?
The simplest mechanism provided by JCo is to create a two dimensional String array and store a name/value pair as the second dimension. Through this technique, you can effectively specify any and all of the available system parameters directly within the application. Here is the code to call createClient() with a String array:
import com.sap.mw.jco.*;
...
String[][] sapParams = { {"client", "000"}, {"user", "userid"}, {"passwd", "password"},
{"lang", "en"}, {"ashost", "mysaphost"}, {"sysnr", "00"} };
JCO.Client connection = JCO.createClient(sapParams);
...
connection.disconnect();
This is an effective method for passing dynamic values as system parameters to JCo and also allows you to use some of the more advanced user identification techniques (X509 certificates and SAP logon tickets). However, you are still faced with the challenge of maintaining hardcoded system parameters repeatedly throughout your application. A slightly better technique would be to specify these values as public final class variables then construct your String array with both those global values and any dynamic parameters you might require (see Part 1.)
