Codemesh Updates JunC++ion Release 1 for Windows; JunC++ion Makes Java and C++ Work Together.

Business/Technology Editors

CARLISLE Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 2000

Codemesh(TM), Inc. (http://www.codemesh.com) updated its JunC++ion(TM) Release 1 product to incorporate corrections to minor software problems and to include new documentation. The update follows a successful product launch, which resulted in widespread customer interest in JunC++ion to solve multiple business problems including: web-enabling C++ programs, expanding Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) environments to C++, integrating Java and C++ servers, and making Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) more accessible from Java.

Alexander Krapf, President of Codemesh talks with each JunC++ion evaluator. "Customers have been testing JunC++ion to solve so many of their Java-C++ integration problems at every level, from converting one class to porting entire applications. No one, absolutely no one, wants to code in JNI after seeing JunC++ion."

JunC++ion makes C++ accessible to Java

C++ programs provide some of the most powerful and efficient business solutions and companies want to continue using these C++ programs indefinitely. At the same time, they need to update the software with Java components for the internet. These companies are looking to JunC++ion to web enable their existing C++ programs with Java servlets.

JunC++ion expands EJB environments

EJB environments are increasingly the choice of businesses for application servers. The main EJB restriction that companies must deal with is that EJB works only with Java components. Companies building EJB environments and EJB server vendors are using JunC++ion to overcome this restriction because JunC++ion allows C++ components to be integrated as standard EJBs and provides C++ access to EJB environments.

JunC++ion integrates Java and C++ servers

Companies who have long struggled with the Java Native Interface (JNI) to communicate between their Java and C++ components are now working with the best integration alternative yet. JunC++ion does all the JNI work for them and more. JunC++ion provides all the error handling and workarounds to known JNI software defects so that programmers can continue to work in Java or C++ and avoid JNI altogether.

JunC++ion makes COM components more useful to Java

Companies who work with COM want to make COM components available to Java and make Java classes available as COM components. Because COM components are easily accessed from C++ and easily written in C++, JunC++ion makes it easier for Java components to access the COM components and to expose Java classes as COM components.

JunC++ion duplicates libraries without porting

Application programming interface (API) libraries provide sets of programming services to software developers. Because C++ programmers need C++ libraries and Java programmers need Java libraries, a single library is usually not sufficient and companies have to duplicate work to make libraries available in the other language. API library providers are using JunC++ion to make libraries available in both languages without duplicating work.

Pricing and availability

JunC++ion Release 1.0.1 is currently available on Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows 98. To evaluate JunC++ion, contact Codemesh at [e-mail].
