Java: language, architecture, platform?
Programming language:
Easy-to-use object-oriented programming language, which has been cleaned of
features that used to cause problems in C and C++.
Designed for Internet- and WWW-use.
Via Web-browser Java gives the possibility to use applications from anywhere in
the world.
Java is distributed, interpreted architecture- and platform-neutral programming
language that can be used in addition to traditional application building also applets
(small applications running in WWW-browser). Applets can be downloaded over the
network from anywhere in the world.

Java: language, architecture, platform?
Architecture generally:
Architecture (application architecture, system architecture) defines the guidelines,
which together help to achieve the information system goals without the need for
ad hoc-compromises during the implementation of the system.
Architecture defines
•general usability
•performance and scalability
•availability and robustiness
•security

Architecture can be divided into
•logical architecture:
•what is to be done; db-, UI-, bl-services and utilities
•technical architecture:
•with what tools; os, db, mw, development tools

Java’s promises and problems
WWW: Applets
more functionality
“real” applications in WWW
“write once, run anywhere”
10
TietoEnator©2000
Problems with firewalls
problems with browsers and their
versions
applets tend to be big;
downloading is slow
TietoEnator  Presentation
Java’s promises and problems
Java-applications
Same application runs anywhere
that you can find a VM
Programmers don’t make as many
errors as they used to
made network-ready
threads are easily implemented
11
TietoEnator©2000
Interpreting slows down the
application
Critical real-time-applications
require good memory management;
GC is in important role
desktop features have been
deficient for enterprise usage;
printing, drag-drop, db-handling

Java Enterprise-APIs
Enterprise JavaBeans Architecture
The Enterprise JavaBeans specification defines an API that will make it easy for
developers to create, deploy and manage cross-platform, component-based enterprise
applications that work within the framework of the systems currently in use.
JavaServer Pages
JavaServer Pages combines easy-to-use server-side tags with the power of JavaBeansTM
components to provide a solution that cleanly separates the presentation of dynamic
content from the generation of that content. Neutral to development platforms and
Web servers, it's a Write Once, Run AnywhereTM solution.
Java Servlet
Java Servlet provides a uniform, industry-supported interface for extending a web
server with cross-platform and cross-server components written in the Java
Programming Language.
Java Naming and Directory Interface
Provides uniform, industry-standard, seamless connectivity from the Java platform to
business information assets, thus allowing developers to deliver Java applications with
unified access to multiple naming and directory services across the enterprise.
Java Interface Definition Language (IDL)
Provides interoperability with CORBA, the industry standard for heterogeneous computing.
Java IDL includes an IDL-to-Java compiler and a lightweight ORB that supports IIOP.

Java Enterprise-APIs
JDBC
Provides programmers with a uniform interface to a wide range of relational databases,
and provides a common base on which higher-level tools and interfaces can be built.
Java Message Service (JMS)
The Java Message Service specification provides developers with a standard Java API
for enterprise messaging services such as reliable queuing, publish and subscribe
communication and various aspects of push/pull technologies.
Java Transaction (JTA)
Java Transaction API (JTA) defines a high-level transaction management specification
intended for resource managers and transactional applications in distributed
transaction systems.
Java Transaction Service (JTS)
The Java Transaction Service (JTS) API technology ensures interoperability with
sophisticated transaction resources such as transactional application programs, resource
managers, transaction processing monitors and transaction managers. Since these
components are provided by different vendors, JTS provides open, standard access to
these transaction resources.

Java Enterprise-APIs
JavaMail
The JavaMail API provides a set of abstract classes that models a mail system.
The API is meant to provide a platform independent and protocol independent framework
to build Java-based mail and messaging applications.
RMI/IIOP
RMI-IIOP provides developers an implementation of the Java RMI API over the
Object Management Group's industry-standard Internet Inter-Orb Protocol (IIOP).
With it, developers can write remote interfaces between clients and servers, and
implement them just using Java technology and the Java RMI APIs.

What does Java offer?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Client-component architecture (JavaBeans)
Server- component architecture (EJB)
4 different Java-application environments
11 enterprise-APIs
8 core-APIs(JFC, Security, JavaBeans, 2D, ...)
lot of extensions, frameworks, etc.
Platform-neutrality in reasonable scale

Where can Java be chosen?
• BL requires integration with Internet-technology
• Old systems C/C++ Client-Server-systems
• application is meant to be deployed on more than one
platform
23
TietoEnator©2000
Version: 1.0
TietoEnator  Presentation
When not to choose Java?
• System is complex, business-critical and must be in
production in six months
• Lot of integration is needed with legacy-systems
• Existing 3rd-party products fill the need
