3: a platform-independent object-oriented programming language |
java
(foldoc) | Java
An object-oriented, distributed,
interpreted, architecture-neutral, portable,
multithreaded, dynamic, buzzword-compliant, general-purpose
programming language developed by Sun Microsystems in the early
1990s (initially for set-top television controllers) and released
to the public in 1995.
Java was named after the Indonesian island, a source of
programming fluid.
Java first became popular as the earliest portable dynamic
client-side content for the web in the form of
platform-independent Java applets. In the late 1990s and
into the 2000s it also became very popular on the server side,
where an entire set of APIs defines the J2EE.
Java is both a set of public specifications (controlled by
Oracle, who bought Sun Microsystems, through the JCP) and a
series of implementations of those specifications.
Java is syntactially similar to C++ without user-definable
operator overloading, (though it does have method
overloading), without multiple inheritance and extensive
automatic coercions. It has automatic garbage collection.
Java extends C++'s object-oriented facilities with those
of Objective C for dynamic method resolution.
Whereas programs in C++ and similar languages are compiled and
linked to platform-specific binary executables, Java programs
are typically compiled to portable architecture-neutral
bytecode ".class" files, which are run using a {Java Virtual
Machine}. The JVM is also called an interpreter, though it
is more correct to say that it uses Just-In-Time Compilation
to convert the bytecode into native machine code,
yielding greater efficiency than most interpreted languages,
rivalling C++ for many long-running, non-GUI applications.
The run-time system is typically written in POSIX-compliant
ANSI C or C++. Some implementations allow Java class
files to be translated into native machine code during or
after compilation.
The Java compiler and linker both enforce {strong type
checking} - procedures must be explicitly typed. Java
aids in the creation of virus-free, tamper-free systems
with authentication based on public-key encryption.
Java has an extensive library of routines for all kinds of
programming tasks, rivalling that of other languages. For
example, the java.net package supports TCP/IP protocols
like HTTP and FTP. Java applications can access objects
across the Internet via URLs almost as easily as on the
local file system. There are also capabilities for several
types of distributed applications.
The Java GUI libraries provide portable interfaces. For
example, there is an abstract Window class with implementations
for Unix, Microsoft Windows and the Macintosh. The
java.awt and javax.swing classes can be used either in
web-based Applets or in client-side applications or {desktop
applications}.
There are also packages for developing XML applications,
web services, servlets and other web applications,
security, date and time calculations and I/O formatting,
database (JDBC), and many others.
Java is not related to JavaScript despite the name.

java
(jargon) | Java
An object-oriented language originally developed at Sun by James Gosling
(and known by the name “Oak”) with the intention of being the successor to
C++ (the project was however originally sold to Sun as an embedded
language for use in set-top boxes). After the great Internet explosion of
1993-1994, Java was hacked into a byte-interpreted language and became the
focus of a relentless hype campaign by Sun, which touted it as the new
language of choice for distributed applications.
Java is indeed a stronger and cleaner design than C++ and has been embraced
by many in the hacker community — but it has been a considerable source of
frustration to many others, for reasons ranging from uneven support on
different Web browser platforms, performance issues, and some notorious
deficiencies in some of the standard toolkits (AWT in particular). {
Microsoft}'s determined attempts to corrupt the language (which it rightly
sees as a threat to its OS monopoly) have not helped. As of 2003, these
issues are still in the process of being resolved.
Despite many attractive features and a good design, it is difficult to find
people willing to praise Java who have tried to implement a complex,
real-world system with it (but to be fair it is early days yet, and no
other language has ever been forced to spend its childhood under the
limelight the way Java has). On the other hand, Java has already been a big
win in academic circles, where it has taken the place of Pascal as the
preferred tool for teaching the basics of good programming to the next
generation of hackers.

1. (Zool.) A hoofed quadruped of the genus Equus;
especially, the domestic horse (Equus caballus), which
was domesticated in Egypt and Asia at a very early period.
It has six broad molars, on each side of each jaw, with
six incisors, and two canine teeth, both above and below.
The mares usually have the canine teeth rudimentary or
wanting. The horse differs from the true asses, in having
a long, flowing mane, and the tail bushy to the base.
Unlike the asses it has callosities, or chestnuts, on all
its legs. The horse excels in strength, speed, docility,
courage, and nobleness of character, and is used for
drawing, carrying, bearing a rider, and like purposes.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Many varieties, differing in form, size, color, gait,
speed, etc., are known, but all are believed to have
been derived from the same original species. It is
supposed to have been a native of the plains of Central
Asia, but the wild species from which it was derived is
not certainly known. The feral horses of America are
domestic horses that have run wild; and it is probably
true that most of those of Asia have a similar origin.
Some of the true wild Asiatic horses do, however,
approach the domestic horse in several characteristics.
Several species of fossil (Equus) are known from the
later Tertiary formations of Europe and America. The
fossil species of other genera of the family
Equid[ae] are also often called horses, in general
sense.

existing anthropoid apes, known from bones first found in
Java (hence called Java man) in 1891-92, and other bones
found later. The species was renamed Homo erectus around
1960. The Javan bones are believed to be from 1.6 to 1.9
million years old, and include a thigh bone of the human
type, two molar teeth intermediate between those of man
and the anthropoids, and the calvaria of the skull,
indicating a brain capacity of about 900 cubic
centimeters, and resembling in form that of the
Neanderthal man. Additional specimens of what are
considerd as variants of the species have been found in
China, Africa, and Europe. Homo erectus is currently
believed to have evolved in Africa from Homo habilis,
the first member of the genus Homo. Anatomically and

enterprise javabeans
(foldoc) | Enterprise JavaBeans
EJB
(EJB) A server-side
component architecture for writing reusable business logic
and portable enterprise applications. EJB is the basis of
Sun's Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE).
Enterprise JavaBean components are written entirely in Java
and run on any EJB compliant server. They are {operating
system}, platform, and middleware independent, preventing
vendor lock-in.
EJB servers provide system-level services (the "plumbing")
such as transactions, security, threading, and
persistence.
The EJB architecture is inherently transactional,
distributed, multi-tier, scalable, secure, and {wire
protocol} neutral - any protocol can be used: IIOP,
JRMP, HTTP, DCOM etc. EJB 1.1 requires RMI for
communication with components. EJB 2.0 is expected to require
support for RMI/IIOP.
EJB applications can serve assorted clients: browsers, Java,
ActiveX, CORBA etc. EJB can be used to wrap {legacy
systems}.
EJB 1.1 was released in December 1999. EJB 2.0 is in
development.
Sun claims broad industry adoption. 30 vendors are shipping
server products implementing EJB. Supporting vendors include
IBM, Fujitsu, Sybase, Borland, Oracle, and
Symantec.
An alternative is Microsoft's MTS ({Microsoft Transaction
Server}).

(foldoc) | HotJava
A modular, extensible web
browser from Sun Microsystems that can execute programs
written in the Java programming language. These programs,
known as "applets", can be included (like images) in HTML
pages. Because Java programs are compiled into machine
independent bytecodes, applets can run on any platform on
which HotJava runs - currently (December 1995)
SPARC/Solaris 2 and Intel 80x86/Windows 95, {Windows
NT}.

java
(foldoc) | Java
An object-oriented, distributed,
interpreted, architecture-neutral, portable,
multithreaded, dynamic, buzzword-compliant, general-purpose
programming language developed by Sun Microsystems in the early
1990s (initially for set-top television controllers) and released
to the public in 1995.
Java was named after the Indonesian island, a source of
programming fluid.
Java first became popular as the earliest portable dynamic
client-side content for the web in the form of
platform-independent Java applets. In the late 1990s and
into the 2000s it also became very popular on the server side,
where an entire set of APIs defines the J2EE.
Java is both a set of public specifications (controlled by
Oracle, who bought Sun Microsystems, through the JCP) and a
series of implementations of those specifications.
Java is syntactially similar to C++ without user-definable
operator overloading, (though it does have method
overloading), without multiple inheritance and extensive
automatic coercions. It has automatic garbage collection.
Java extends C++'s object-oriented facilities with those
of Objective C for dynamic method resolution.
Whereas programs in C++ and similar languages are compiled and
linked to platform-specific binary executables, Java programs
are typically compiled to portable architecture-neutral
bytecode ".class" files, which are run using a {Java Virtual
Machine}. The JVM is also called an interpreter, though it
is more correct to say that it uses Just-In-Time Compilation
to convert the bytecode into native machine code,
yielding greater efficiency than most interpreted languages,
rivalling C++ for many long-running, non-GUI applications.
The run-time system is typically written in POSIX-compliant
ANSI C or C++. Some implementations allow Java class
files to be translated into native machine code during or
after compilation.
The Java compiler and linker both enforce {strong type
checking} - procedures must be explicitly typed. Java
aids in the creation of virus-free, tamper-free systems
with authentication based on public-key encryption.
Java has an extensive library of routines for all kinds of
programming tasks, rivalling that of other languages. For
example, the java.net package supports TCP/IP protocols
like HTTP and FTP. Java applications can access objects
across the Internet via URLs almost as easily as on the
local file system. There are also capabilities for several
types of distributed applications.
The Java GUI libraries provide portable interfaces. For
example, there is an abstract Window class with implementations
for Unix, Microsoft Windows and the Macintosh. The
java.awt and javax.swing classes can be used either in
web-based Applets or in client-side applications or {desktop
applications}.
There are also packages for developing XML applications,
web services, servlets and other web applications,
security, date and time calculations and I/O formatting,
database (JDBC), and many others.
Java is not related to JavaScript despite the name.

Java servelet
servelet
servlet
(By analogy with "applet") A Java program
that runs as part of a network service, typically an {HTTP
server} and responds to requests from clients.
The most common use for a servlet is to extend a web server
by generating web content dynamically. For example, a
client may need information from a database; a servlet
can be written that receives the request, gets and processes
the data as needed by the client and then returns the result
to the client.
Applets are also written in Java but run inside the JVM
of a HTML browser on the client. Servlets and applets
allow the server and client to be extended in a modular way by
dynamically loading code which communicates with the main
program via a standard programming interface.
Servlets are more flexible than CGI scripts and, being
written in Java, more portable.
The spelling "servelet" is occasionally seen but JavaSoft
spell it "servlet". There is no such thing as a "serverlet".

javascript
(foldoc) | JavaScript
LiveScript
(Formerly "LiveScript") Netscape's simple,
cross-platform, web scripting language, only
very vaguely related to Java (which is a Sun trademark).
JavaScript is intimately tied to the web, and
currently runs in only three environments - as a server-side
scripting language, as an embedded language in
server-parsed HTML, and as an embedded language run in web
browsers where it is the most important part of DHTML.
JavaScript has a simplified C-like syntax and is tightly
integrated with the browser Document Object Model. It is
useful for implementing enhanced forms, simple web
database front-ends, and navigation enhancements. It is
unusual in that the scope of variables extends throughout
the function in which they are declared rather than the
smallest enclosing block as in C.
JavaScript originated from Netscape and, for a time, only
their products supported it. Microsoft now supports a
work-alike which they call JScript. The resulting
inconsistencies make it difficult to write JavaScript that
behaves the same in all browsers. This could be attributed to
the slow progress of JavaScript through the standards bodies.
JavaScript runs "100x" slower than C, as it is purely
interpreted (Java runs "10x" slower than C code).
Netscape and allies say JavaScript is an "open standard" in
an effort to keep Microsoft from monopolising web software
as they have desktop software. Netscape and Sun have
co-operated to enable Java and JavaScript to exchange
messages and data.

JSP
(JSP) A freely available

specification was written by industry leaders as part of the
Java development program.
JSP assists developers in creating HTML or XML pages that
combine static (fixed) page templates with dynamic content.
Separating the user interface from content generation allows
page designers to change the page layout without having to
rewrite program code. JSP was designed to be simpler than
pure servlets or CGI scripting.
JSP uses XML-like tags and scripts written in Java to generate
the page content. HTML or XML formatting tags are passed
back to the client. Application logic can live on the server,
e.g. in JavaBeans.
JSP is a cross-platform alternative to Microsoft's {Active
Server Pages}, which only runs in IIS on Windows NT.
Applications written to the JSP specification can be run on
compliant web servers, and web servers such as Apache,
Netscape Enterprise Server, and Microsoft IIS that have
had Java support added. JSP should soon be available on
Unix, AS/400, and mainframe platforms.

java
(jargon) | Java
An object-oriented language originally developed at Sun by James Gosling
(and known by the name “Oak”) with the intention of being the successor to
C++ (the project was however originally sold to Sun as an embedded
language for use in set-top boxes). After the great Internet explosion of
1993-1994, Java was hacked into a byte-interpreted language and became the
focus of a relentless hype campaign by Sun, which touted it as the new
language of choice for distributed applications.
Java is indeed a stronger and cleaner design than C++ and has been embraced
by many in the hacker community — but it has been a considerable source of
frustration to many others, for reasons ranging from uneven support on
different Web browser platforms, performance issues, and some notorious
deficiencies in some of the standard toolkits (AWT in particular). {
Microsoft}'s determined attempts to corrupt the language (which it rightly
sees as a threat to its OS monopoly) have not helped. As of 2003, these
issues are still in the process of being resolved.
Despite many attractive features and a good design, it is difficult to find
people willing to praise Java who have tried to implement a complex,
real-world system with it (but to be fair it is early days yet, and no
other language has ever been forced to spend its childhood under the
limelight the way Java has). On the other hand, Java has already been a big
win in academic circles, where it has taken the place of Pascal as the
preferred tool for teaching the basics of good programming to the next
generation of hackers.
