Many object-oriented databases (OODBs) are based on programming languages (such as C++, CLOS and Smalltalk) that pre-date Java. Given Java’s rapid emergence, there is a growing need for interoperating existing or legacy OODBs with new applications that require Java. Unfortunately, there are few mechanisms that allow software developers to easily integrate Java applications with non-Java OODBs. ...

The release of Java 1.1 brings many new features to the Java language. Java in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition, a worthy successor to the authors bestselling first edition of the book, offers an excellent way to keep up with most of them. Youll find that the second edition carries over many strong points from the original, including a quick-start introduction to Java for C or C++ programmers and the ha...

Java has become popular as a programming language for the Internet because of its ability to simplify the development of flexible, portable applications with graphical user interfaces. Using Java, users can write a program once and run it on any platform. However, Java lacks a good mechanism to support integration of system software, which is required by new applications such as mobile computin...

The Java programming language has gained substantial popularity in the past two years. Java’s networking features, along with the growing number of Web browsers that execute Java applets, facilitate Internet programming. Despite the popularity of Java, however, there are many concerns about its efficiency. In particular, networking and computation performance are key concerns when considering t...

Prompted by feedback from several partners in the industry, Sun is proposing a change to the specification of floating-point in the Java programming language. The current Java programming language and virtual machine specifications require that all single and double precision floating-point calculations must round their results to the IEEE 754 single and double precision formats, respectively. ...

Key Java: Advanced Tips and Techniques #331 pages #Springer Science & Business Media, 1998 #John Hunt, Alexander G. McManus #3540762590, 9783540762591 #1998 Java is such a rapidly evolving language, it can be difficult for developers to keep abreast of developments. It has moved beyond a lnaguage used just for creating Web-based applets to one that is being used for developing serious applicati...

The focus of this paper is Weld, a bytecode compiler that compiles a given Java class into a new Java class with added compiled methods. The Java bytecode to Java bytecode compilation that Weld performs is key to accelerating Rivet, a Java virtual machine written in Java that serves as an extensible tool platform. In accelerating Rivet, Weld employs several bytecode compilation techniques. Some...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a static analysis tool for certifying Java Card applications, according to security rules defined by the smart card industry. Java Card is a dialect of Java designed for programming multi-application smart cards and the tool, called SawjaCard, has been specialised for the particular Java Card programming patterns. The tool is built around a ...

Recently, Java has been spread widely. However, Java has a problem that an attacker can reconstruct Java source codes from Java classfiles. Therefore many techniques for protecting Java software have been proposed, but, quantitive security evaluations are not fully given. This paper proposes an obfuscation scheme for Java source codes by destructing the encapsulation. In addition, we propose an...

Java has rapidly gained a large user group and has become one of the most popular platforms for developing Internet applications, e.g., servlets. The Java VM is extensively used to execute servlets in web servers and Enterprise Java Beans in application servers. Due to Java’s platform independence, it has also gained large acceptance in the opensource community. This has lead to the development...
