JavaBeans is a compact component architecture that allows developers to write reusable components once and run them anywhere. The completed JavaBeans specification incorporates contributions from a broad range of companies, including Baan Company, Borland International, CI Labs, Corel, Informix, IBM, JustSystem, Lotus, Netscape, Novell, Oracle, ParkPlace-Digitalk, Silicon Graphics, SunSoft, Sybase, Symantec, and Visual Edge.Apple and IBM are working with JavaSoft to ensure two-way interoperability between JavaBeans and OpenDoc applications, providing seamless migration to client/server apps. And JavaSoft has taken great pains to ensure that JavaBeans run seamlessly inside ActiveX containers on Windows platforms as well.Developers can begin initial development using a subset of the JavaBeans architecture that is compatible with the already shipping JDK 1.0.2. JavaBeans will be compatible with the forthcoming JDK 1.1 and future releases. In December 1996, JavaSoft will release a preliminary JavaBeans Development Kit that will include a test container, JavaBeans class files, sample JavaBeans code with source available, and early documentation. JavaSoft will host a developer event in Long Beach, CA, on November 6, 1996.JavaBeans: https://java.sun.com/beansBack to indexAsymetrix’s SuperCede features native Java compilerAsymetrix just announced the beta release of SuperCede for Java, an integrated development environment for Java that features a native Java compiler for Windows 95 and NT. Using “Flash Compiler” technology, this compiler helps Java applications execute at the speed of applications written in C++. While not giving a specific time-frame, Asymetrix plans to add other platforms to the native Java compiler support.Besides the native compiler, SuperCede for Java includes a Debug Scratch Area, which lets developers enter arbitrary Java expressions — including function calls — and evaluate them immediately. Developers can modify application code while it is running; by pressing an Update” button, modifications take effect immediately in the executing application. With the Backtrack feature, developers can fix a problem with a currently executing method, pop the stack frame, and then execute from where the method was called, allowing changes to be tested without having to restart the program.Pricing for SuperCede is not yet available. The beta version can be downloaded free of charge from Asymetrix’s Web site.https://www.asymetrix.comBack to indexLatte acquires a new name and is readied for releaseBorland International has renamed its Latte Java application development tool Open JBuilder and has announced that a prerelease version will be ready by the end of December.

It brings a graphical development environment to the Web. With version 3.0 developers will be able to replace HTML forms with applets that interactively communicate with the WebObjects application server. It will no longer be necessary to redisplay Web pages in order to show users modifications. Only the applet is refreshed, which means a fast response rate.WebObjects 3.0 features a suite of integrated development tools, including: WebObjects Builder, a graphical development environment that provides drag-and-drop application development and binds client-side components to server-based enterprise applications; Database Modeler, a point-and-click user interface that creates database schemas and brings them into the application server environment; Project Builder, a project development organizer that allows developers to create and manage reusable objects; and interactive client component support, which allows users to communicate with the WebObjects application server.WebOjbects 3.0 will be released in November, and the Java integration of the servers will be out in December.NeXT also announced that, starting in December, developers will be able to write WebObjects Enterprise applications entirely in Java. The company will ship this server-side Java integration — codenamed French Roast — shortly after it releases WebObjects 3.0. The Java extension to WebObjects Enterprise 3.0 will be made available to WebObjects 3.0 customers free of charge through NeXT’s Web site.WebObjects 3.0: https://www.next.com/AboutNeXT/PressKit/PressReleases/1996/WebObjects_30.html NeXT’s server-side Java: https://www.next.com/AboutNeXT/PressKit/PressReleases/1996/Java_Enterprise.htmlBack to indexProprietary versions of the JVM may hurt platform portabilityAs licensees develop their own versions of the Java virtual machine, Java itself may lose one of its best selling points — its portability.Although most companies are staying with the original core API, there are some exceptions. Visix Software created a proprietary JVM so that it could incorporate its own object-oriented class libraries because, according to a spokesperson for Visix, Sun’s class libraries are inadequate.Natural Intelligence created its proprietary Roaster VM to give it more control over licensing its VM to third parties. Roaster has been licensed to Apple.Asymetrix developed its own VM in Java’s native mode so it could make it run 10 to 50 times faster than Sun’s version; speeds are made possible by the Flash Compiler, an Asymetrix technology that compiles Java code into machine code native to the platform on which the VM is running.If fully proprietary versions that bear no relation to Sun’s core APIs continue to develop, different run-time environments will be necessary to support the variant implementations. That means Java will no longer be cross-platform.Sun’s response has been to work with third parties to improve the performance of its JVM, reduce its memory footprint, and add new class libraries. It also plans to implement the JVM in silicon.Original story: Information Week https://techweb.cmp.com/iw/601/01iojav.htmBack to indexA passport to building multitier, enterprise applications with JavaPassport IntRprise, from Passport Corp., is a development toolset for creating both scalable applications that can be deployed on the Internet and traditional client/server applications that are run on standard networks. One set of code is used both types of applications. IntRprise was designed for highly interactive, event-driven applications inwhich messages must be passed among asynchronous and/or synchronous modules. Targeted at enterprise computing, IntRprise offers persistent session connection through Passport application servers as well as checkpoint/restart of an application if a system should fail.Applications using IntRprise can be built once to run on the Web and then simply linked, through a tool called Just-Re-Link-it, to run as a client/server application.With Passport IntRprise, users have the option of giving their applications a Java-based thin client — one that does not have application logic on it but that is fully functional. When applications are accessed, only new or modified information is passed across the ‘Net, meaning that users don’t have to spend time waiting for downloads. Java is used as the windowing system for displaying applications over the Internet; this reduces bandwidth requirements while speeding up response times.IntRprise supports Windows 3.1, NT, and 95, all Unix versions, network computers, and Java. It is browser-independent. Currently available in beta versions, it will be released in December for ,995.https://www.passport4gl.comBack to indexSymantec offers first look at Visual Cafe for PowerMacSymantec is now previewing Visual Cafe for PowerMac — the first Visual Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool for visual Java development on PowerMac, letting Mac-based developers use Java to develop applets.

But Microsoft’s version — a new open version of ActiveX/Distributed Component Object Model — may beat them to the market.Some developers are looking to mix Java objects with different vendors’ ORBs, so they can develop ways for IIOP-compliant objects to access legacy databases and exchange information across intranets and the Internet. Currently, though, those who want to use specific-vendor CORBA-compliant ORBs have to write a version of the Java applet for each one — because there’s no standard for mapping CORBA’s descriptive language to the Java programming language. Since that one key mapping standard won’t be resolved until next year (proposals are due in December 1996), the companies that put their eggs in the CORBA basket may find that, at least for now, their system will not work as smoothly as they might have hoped.Right now, three companies sell Java ORB products: Sun, Iona, and Visigenic Software. Each is expected to sell its version as the standard.Original story: Network WorldBack to indexEarthWeb and Sun join forcesAs part of a strategic alliance between EarthWeb and Sun, JavaSoft has endorsed Gamelan as the only official resource directory for Java.
