News and New Product Briefs (September 20, 1999)

Mozilla wakes up to Java

The latest Mozilla browser build now comes Java enabled, thanks to the efforts of the Open JVM Integration project (OJI).

Mozilla currently uses the JDK/JRE (even with the latest JDK, 1.3) as a source at Java runtime. In other words, Mozilla is now “Hotspot enabled.”

Mozilla, the open source browser project from Netscape, is nearing its 1.0 release. At press time, applets were working with Mozilla on Windows and Mac. Unix development is lagging, however, for want of a Java Plugin implementation. Anyone interested in writing an OJI plugin will find excellent documentation on the Mozilla site.

In the future, OJI plans to:

Allow Java Virtual Machines to be plugged into Mozilla
Allow the applet and object tags to show Java applets on a page
Support LiveConnect (the bridge between Java and JavaScript)
Extend the existing Plugin API to define an “Open JVM Plugin API”
Release its JVM concurrently with Netscape 5.0’s release

The Mozilla team works with Sun’s Java Software Division, Apple, and others on its Java plugins, but is also looking to enlist the help of third-party JVM providers, plugin developers, and others in the Java community.

Mozilla is free and available on all major computer platforms. The Mozilla Open JVM plugin uses the XPCOM object model.

Sun releases Java Blend 2.0 early access program

Sun announced the first early access version of Java Blend 2.0, a database integration tool for Java that supports Oracle 8 and 7.3 on Solaris or Windows NT servers.

New features and functions are designed to support Java transparent persistence in applications.

The software scales to build and deploy applications that access tables with millions of rows, thousands of attributes, or hundreds of simultaneous database connections, all without having to embed SQL in the Java application code.

New mapping features in the latest version allow for enterprise Java applications to map complex relationships while supporting multimedia objects like BLOBs.

Two builds are planned for the Early Access Program.

The invisible bean works like hidden fields

Bayside Computing (BCI) announces the release of its Invisible ASCII Db Parameters Bean, which helps to monitor visitors as they move through a Web site similar to way that hidden fields do.

The invisible bean accepts Java applet parameters from regular ASCII text files, allowing you to create a custom ASCII database of links, then use the invisible bean to pass those URLs as Java parameters to the applets that are serving the links on your pages. Never again will you have to modify every single applet on your site just because you’ve changed your list of URLs. With the invisible bean, databases can even be shared by “multiple bean instances.”

Originally created in 1998 to address the internal needs of BCI, it has now been “repackaged with a small footprint for single function use with applets,” according to BCI’s John Danilow, who said that the company will release a larger, more generic version later in the year.

Demos, more information, and Javadoc documentation are available at the Web site.

The invisible bean ships in a jar file, compressed in PkWare’s zipped format for 9.95. It comes complete with code snippets indicating proper use, and the license allows for a single developer at a single location only (though there are no royalty fees for bean instances distributed in your products like applets or other applications).

Course descriptions, a “virtual tour” of the courses, and registration information is available at the Web site.

Pricing includes unlimited single-user access for a period of 90 days. The courses will become available in the middle of October, but only for those users with a US-based Internet address. Availability for other countries will be added later.
