apps with one Java code

BY CHRISTOPHER MINDUS

Who knows what iizi is?

ADVERB /ˈiːzi/Pronounced “easy” in most languages worldwidefrom Macmillan English Dictionary

Let’s have fun: take the red pill and follow the white rabbit…

iizi = PAIN killer, ANY business

DEVELOPERS• Same Java code for all, ONCE• Certification to the stores, new releases• Linux, Mac or Windows?• Give back UI design to designers

END USERS• Security and data protection• Save device space AND battery• Zero latency• New Gen Apps

Super-quick overview

• iizi is a streamed event driven architecture

•Uses VirtualSpace to model your app

•Prototype UI attached to the VirtualSpace

New Gen iizi apps

Business Logic and Data

•Use data connectors to populate VirtualSpace data

(SQL, Web Services, Legacy systems)

•Write Java code for events in the VirtualSpace or the UI

Add any Java code or data connector styled code to any

iiziApps – many open interfaces are available!

/ˈiːzi/

Java code

• Event driven programming by Methods in Classes

attached to VirtualSpace (preferred way), or UI

• Implement Interfaces typically on Data connectors

• iizi Java API contains event listeners for fine-grained

programming

•Use your standard libraries and everything you are

familiar with to write your code

Adding a Java class

• Attach a class to

VirtualSpace

• Fill in Package and

Name

package org.eclipsecon;

import com.iizix.api.vs.VS;

@VS(ref = "EclipseCon:/vs/MySpace")public class MyVSClass {

}

• Hover mouse over reference

to see referenced object

– click to open!

Adding methods for events

• Three methods added to

VirtualSpace:

- 2 to the main VS

- 1 to the ip-address field

Specialized classes using Interfaces

• Add Interface class to

handle advanced focus in

VirtualSpace• Oops! I accidentally placed the code in wrong package!

iizi handles all refactoring automatically, from Java, VS and UI

Prepare your app

for distribution…

Build and deploy your iiziApp

Export it!

OR from command line

e.g. with automated building

Also available as command line utility

• Mindus provides hosting to your app with our partner

Monaco Telecom – more partners to come!

• However, you can host and run your iiziServer in-house,

or host elsewhere.

Our history with eclipse is long…

• Develop in Java1.1 (1997)

• Hold on: with MS Visual J++

eclipse !

• NetPhantom (1999)

• iizi (2007)

Products• iizi 1.0 EA

(Dec 2017)

• NetPhantom 6.9(Jun 2018)

eclipsecon !

…and why we chose eclipse as the platform [would not fit on slides]

FYI: NetPhantom is a legacy integration tool for IBM Z Mainframes and IBM Power Systems and gives a modern Windows UI (Swing) → https://netphantom.com
