Java Programming


What is J2EE ?

What is the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE)? a platform that enables solutions for developing,

deploying and managing multi-tier server-centric applications.

Extend J2SE to a complete, stable, secure, fast Java platform to the enterprise level.

A platform which significantly reduces the cost and complexity of developing multi-tier solutions, results in services that can be rapidly deployed and easily enhanced.

Java Programming


Benefits of J2EE

1. A unified platform for building, deploying and managing enterprise-class software.

2. Allow enterprise-class application the ability to run anywhere.

3. A platform with a complete range of readily available enterprise-class services.

4. A single easy-to-learn blueprint programming model for J2EE.

5. A platform that is built upon and leverages existing IT investments and guarantees that enterprise-class software will work on multiple platforms.

Java Programming


Technologies included in J2EE

Enterprise JavaBeans, JavaServer Pages, JavaServer Faces servlets, the Java Naming and Directory InterfaceTM (JNDI), the Java Transaction API (JTA), CORBA, The JDBC data access API. Java Message Queue (JMQ) …

Java Programming


What is J2ME ?

1.What is the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME)? The JavaTM 2 Platform, Micro Edition is the edition of the J

ava 2 platform targeted at consumer electronics and embedded devices.

The J2ME technology consists of a virtual machine (KVM) and a set of APIs suitable for providing tailored runtime environments for consumer and embedded electronics.

Configurations v.s. profiles Device characteristics:

memory size / processor size and depth of display screen (UI) power consumption (battery-based) networking capability (limited, not TCP/IP based?)

Java Programming


Features of the java language:

Java is simple object-oriented distributed interpreted robust secure architecture-neutral portable high performance multithreaded dynamic

Java Programming


Java is Simple

Intentionally created to be syntactically similar to C/C++ Eliminates traditionally troublesome features of C/C++

Pointer arithmetic Multiple inheritance Implicit type coercions Explicit memory management Preprocessor

Eliminates features of C/C++ struct typedef union enum (Programmer controlled) operator overloading

Features included as part of base language: Threads Exception handling

Java Programming


Java is Object-oriented

Systems are built from sets of classes Classes are instantiated at runtime to give objects Objects communicate via messages passing Everything is part of a class supported OO Concepts:

Data abstraction and Encapsulation Inheritance Polymorphism Dynamic Binding e.g. variable of Object type can hold everything

Logical cluster of classes == package

Java Programming


Java is a Distributed language

Network programming support built into JDK class library: TCP sockets UDP packets IP addresses URLs RMI (Remote Method Invocation) Web Service

Security features designed into language Network programming facilities are one of the

language's best features.

Java Programming


Java is an Interpreted language

Source code is initially compiled (javac) into architecture-neutral byte-codes

Byte-codes are interpreted by the java virtual machine (JVM) (java or Netscape)

Dynamic linking/loading (at run time) (Just In Time) JIT compilers lead to a large performa

nce increase in compilation and runtime execution

Java Programming


Java is Robust

Strongly-typed language (cf Smalltalk and VisualBasic)

Compile-time and runtime checking No pointer arithmetic Exception handling Automatic memory management

Java Programming


Java is secure

Designed with security in mind. Allow users to download untrusted code over a net

work and run it in a secure environment in which it cannot do any harm.

Configurable security levels and restrictions. subjected to intense scrutiny by security experts wit

h [potentially serious ] bugs found and fixed. become a big news if new bugs found!!

One of the best mainstream platforms with the strongest security guarantee.

Java Programming


Java is Architecture-neutral

Byte-codes are architecture neutral

Performance suffers by using bytecodes

Java Programming


Java is portable

Primitive type sizes are explicit - not architecture dependent

Strings and characters are (16-bit) Unicode compliant easier for internationalization.

GUI libraries give a native graphic library-independent mechanism for creating quality graphical interfaces (sort of) "They gave us a library that is good for writing programs

that look equally mediocre on the different systems."(Core Java, page 9)

Java Programming


High performance

Interpreting leads to quicker development cycle Depends what you compare it to

"Slightly faster than VB" - (Core Java, page 9) JITC(Just-In-Time Compiler) help greatly in this respect Sun’s Java HotSpot is Newest high performace JIT compil

er.

Can use native code for mission-critical performance sections of code JNI: Java Native Interface Sacrifice portability.

Java Programming


Multithreaded

Based on well-known 20 year old Hoare monitor synchronization

Thread support built into language Thread synchronization primitives supplied Garbage collector runs permanently as a low priority

background thread

Java Programming


Dynamic

Class linking, layout, name resolution and object references not resolved until run-time

Runtime Type Information (RTTI) available Can check the type of objects at run-time java.reflect.* package

Class class for dynamic instantiation Can create objects of types unkown until runtime. String sexClassName = getSex(); Object p = Class.forName(sexClassName).instance(); If(p instanceof Male) {…} else if (p instanceof Female) { … } else {… }

Java Programming


An Example

/**

* The HelloJava class implements an application that

* simply displays "Hello Java!" to the standard output.

*/

class HelloJava {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Display "Hello Java!"

System.out.println("Hello Java!");

}

}

History of Java

Green Project (1990) Consumer device operating software Requirements: small size, robust, portable, extremely reliable ,real-

time performance

Oak Originally used C++, then realized a new language was needed Original requirements same as for current language

Java (1993) Intended market never eventuated WWW starting to takeoff Language design "based on" many current OO languages (e.g., C++,

Eiffel, Smalltalk, Cedar/Mesa, Objective C) 1995/5/23 Sun launched Java JDK 1.0 released early 1996/1/23

Java 2 SDK Installation Instructions (for WIN32)

1. Download java 2 SDK standard edition

2. Run the Java 2 SDK executable (*.exe). determine where to install j2se. (ex: c:\java\j2se\1.4) > set JAVA_HOME= c:\java\j2se\1.4

3. Update the PATH variable so that you can type ‘java’ instead of ‘c:\java\j2se\1.4\bin\java’ to invoke javatools. > path=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%

4. Check the CLASSPATH variable Used by java tools to determine where to find your personal (nonsystem) java class f

iles Types of java byte codes (class files):

System : java tools know where to find them.Extensions: put in %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\extPersonal: via LASSPATH or –cp/–classpath options

5. Start using the Java 2 SDK tools! java, javac, javadoc, jdb, javap,…

Java Programming


3. Creating Your First Applet
