Codemesh Releases Real Java-.NET Integration Technology.

Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

CARLISLE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 22, 2003

Codemesh(R), Inc. (http://www.codemesh.com), a leading provider of language integration solutions, announced today the release of the commercial version of JuggerNET(TM) for integrating Java(TM) and .NET. JuggerNET offers the only real Java-.NET integration solution: practically transparent .NET access to Java classes, trivial deployment, and extreme performance.

JuggerNET customers and evaluators sum up what real Java-.NET integration technology means to them:

From Leigh Pointer of VNU Publitec in The Netherlands:

"Even from the glimpse of the preview we could not wait to get our hands on JuggerNET. The wait paid off. We now have a top quality solution not only for interoperability between Java and .NET, but also a tighter and cleaner solution for our interoperability between Java and COM. JuggerNET has also given us the possibility to be .NET ready when our COM solutions are refactored. Support is outstanding and Codemesh is an absolute pleasure to work with."

Edward George, Vice-President of Engineering for NBS PowerForms in England, a technology innovation firm:

"Just after experimenting with the JuggerNET technology preview, we knew this product could make easy what was going to cost us a great deal of time and resources to get right ourselves. JuggerNET worked out of the box and within hours we had Java components available within our new PowerForms Developer IDE. The rock-solid beta convinced us - JuggerNET was reliable enough, fast enough, and easy enough to become part of the PowerForms end-user solution we'll be introducing this winter."

From a software provider to the healthcare industry:

"Over the past few days I have tested the generated (JuggerNET library) with two of my applications, and so far it (has) performed flawlessly. I have spent a number of hours testing one of the applications that uses the API (application programming interface available in the JuggerNET library) extensively. I was very surprised that I did not (run) into any thing major. "

.NET access to Java classes

JuggerNET generates .NET proxy classes for any and all Java classes you want to access. .NET programmers use the proxies in .NET applications as if they were standard .NET classes. The proxy classes work so closely to how .NET classes work that programmers don't have to learn new programming languages. Just as important, the .NET proxies match Java class-for-class, method-for-method, and field-for-field.

Trivial deployment

Deployment is practically as simple as copying files from one system to another because JuggerNET does not rely on outside servers. The JuggerNET runtime library completes all the Java-.NET interoperations. It works with industry-standard Java Virtual Machines (JVMs), so no special components are required. Put your JuggerNET application, Java classes, and the JuggerNET library together and you've got a production environment.

Extreme performance

JuggerNET enhanced applications run in a single process, so JuggerNET applications do not have to rely on network calls, resulting in levels of performance rivaling pure Java or pure .NET applications.

Production version now available with free technical support

JuggerNET is available now for evaluation and sale on most Windows(R) platforms. Request your evaluation copy today (http://www.codemesh.com/en/evaluation_juggernet.html). You'll receive free technical support from experienced Java and .NET software engineers for the first 30 days of your evaluation.
