Spool file using Java

Anybody can send me in the right direction on how-to achieve this?

idea is user submits a job (which runs a java class file) and now need to 
send back a spool file(report) into users queue.

Can this be done? its easily done with other programming languages on the 
iSeries question is how to do in Java? all I could find is ibm toolbox. 

The simplest form of this is to just use System.out. I know I've seen 
spool files from batch Java programs where the information is from 
System.out and/or System.err. There's an OUTPUT(*PRINT) option on the 
JAVA/RUNJVA but I don't know if that's needed. I'd think you'd be able 
to OVRPRTF this to a different queue.

Or are you asking for an externally described record layout spool file 
and the ability to use that?

Kind of, you can think of it as a report to the program.

I did find the solution, for anyone interested see web link.

Answer is to use the com.ibm.io.as400.access.*; classes more specifically 
the Spool related classes.
