How Bridge2Java helps expand your Java codes horizons
|
|
|
One of the strengths of the Java platform is its object-oriented nature; one of the benefits of object-oriented languages is that they aid code reuse. But what if youre a Java programmer and you want to reuse code that wasnt written in the Java language? With Bridge2Java, an IBM alphaWorks technology, Java developers can integrate COM objects into their applications. This article explains how it works.

Web services and J2EE connectors for B2B integration
|
|
|
Web services and J2EE connectors promise to simplify the integration of heterogeneous enterprise information systems and provide a way for business partners to share their respective applications functionality over the Internet. This article uses an insurance broker scenario, in which the programmatic functions from legacy transactions are incorporated into a Web application, to illustrate these capabilities.

Building management applications with Jiro and WBEM
|
|
|
This article shows you how to combine and leverage the best parts of Jiro technology and the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) initiative. Using familiar examples from the previous two articles of this column, this article introduces the WBEM client technologies for accessing and manipulating data in a CIMOM. It then shows you how to access the same data more elegantly and efficiently, by rearchitecting the Jiro management facade to act as the interface to the CIMOM. Finally, he talks about the need for greater standardization of Jiro management facades and discusses the future of management application programming under a combined Jiro and WBEM development platform.

JSci: An open-source alternative for Java 2D graphing
|
|
|
Java 2D may be the most obvious solution for programming 2D graphs in Java programs, but its not the only one. This article proposes an elegant alternative in the form of Java Objects for Science (JSci), an open-source package that lets you create 2D bar graphs, pie charts, and line graphs in Swing.

Diagnosing Java Code: Glass box extensibility
|
|
|
Glass box extensibility refers to the ways in which a software system may be extended when the source code is available for viewing, but not for modifying -- it lies as the happy medium between black box design (in which extensions are built without viewing the original code) and open box design (extensions are coded directly into the base code). Because the new extensions are based directly on the original code but dont alter it, the glass box design is probably the most effective, and safest, method of extending a software system. This article expands on the topic of glass box extensibility touched on last month in this column. After reading this article, youll know when to use the glass box and will have some tips on how to implement it.
