Introduction To Java

Birth

• December, 1990

• 13 people to find next wave of computing

• Convergence of media next big wave

• Oak: a video on demand receiver toolkit

• *7: failed video on demand appliance

• WebRunner: failed OakMosiacclone

– First browser to run Applets

Early ChildhoodEarly Childhood

• April, 1995

• Java: Front page news of San Jose Mercury

• Netscape announces Java embedded browsers

• Java released to the masses

• 10,000 downloads in the first few months

• 2,000 emails a day within weeks

• Total bandwidth for Java site twice that of Sun’s main site

Teenage Years

• Java growth stabilizes

• IBM gives keynote speech

– Introduces term “e-business”

– Names Java as standard “e-business” platform

• 90% of online transaction happen with the help of Java within a year.

• Java growth explodes again

• Java tried on embedded devices again

Early Twenties

• 66 Java Technologies

• 50 + Java Technologies in development

• Open Architecture license

– Free usage

– Intellectual property free

• Community Development process

– No company control over Java

Java vs. JavaScript

• Java is NOT JavaScript

• Java is:

– Programming language

– Server sided – client never sees it

– Cannot change the state of an HTML page

• JavaScript is:

– Scripting language

– Client sided – server never touches it

– Can change the state of an HTML page

What is Java?

• Programming Language

• Platform independent

– Write for one operating system

– Run on another

• Write once, run anywhere

• Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

– Runs Java programs

How do they do that?

• Two step compile

• First Compile

– Done by the programmer

– Platform neutral

• Second Compile

– Done by the JVM (Java Virtual Machine)

– Platform specific

– User doesn’t do anything special

– Doesn’t affect original file

Java Advantages

• Cost

• Architecture

• Portability

• Reusability

Advantage: Cost

• Buying programming software is expensive

• Java is free

– Regardless of total number of users

• Free tools

– Editors

– Enterprise Servers

• Free tools + free language = more free tools

Advantage: Architecture

• Java distributed for free

• Community board administered

– No company can “own” Java

• Every day users can contribute:

– Idea

– Code

– Bug-fixes

• Your in control

Advantage: Portability

• Java is platform independent

– Compiled programs run on any system

• Compiled files can be compressed

• Compressed files known as Jar files

• Jar files executable

– Without uncompressing

Advantage: Reusability

• Reusability is using past code in current problems

– Not necessarily your code

• Some one has done your work

• Use other’s work

• Big time saver

Enterprise (J2EE) Technologies

• JDBC

• Java Servlet

• Java Server Pages (JSPs)

• Frameworks(Struts,Hibernate,Spring)

• Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs)

• Java Messaging Server (JMS)

JDBC

• Data Access Interface

• Access many data sources

– Database access

– Spreadsheets

– Flat Files

• Performs common task like

– Connection pooling

– Batch updates

– Transaction management

Java Servlet

• Server Side programming

• Extends current web server functionality

• Server and Platform independent

• Similar to CGI scripting

• Access to all Java Technologies

• Focused on content generation

– Programmers don’t have to worry about design

Java Server Pages (JSPs)

• Embedded in HTML pages

• Creates dynamic content

• Server Sided

• Focused on content presentation

– Designers don’t worry about programming

• Looks like regular HTML of XML

– Markup tag based

Frameworks

• Java provide some framework technology that follow MVC-

design pattern for programming.

• It provides Independency , Reusability, Security to web

application.

• Struts , Hibernate, Springare the frameworks technologies of

java.

Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs)

• Focused on

– Customizable

– Reusable

• Interface with data sources

– Databases

– Existing Enterprise Information Systems (Banner)

• Write once, run anywhere

Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs)

• Distributed Client/Server Model

• Code executed on server

– Closer to the data

– More powerful machine then client

• Code localized to server

– Changing server code doesn’t cause change in client code

Java Messaging Service (JMS)

• Communication between components

• Two styles of communication

– Point-to-point messaging

• Like Email

– Publish/Subscribe

• Like Email Lists

Java Messaging Service (JMS)

• Synchronous

– Sent once, not guaranteed to reach server

– Lost if not received

• Asynchronous

– Sent until it is acknowledged

– Queued until message is retrieved
