New IBM Java software.


IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries)  has been a strong supporter and innovator in the use of Java. For more than seven years the company has showcased numerous software and resources on its alphaWorks Website to provide developers with an opportunity to experience emerging technologies at their earliest stages of development. In the last six months, IBM alphaworks has sold several Java technology licenses, previewed more than 14 Java-based software technologies on its Website and has had nearly 70,000 Java technology downloads.

"IBM alphaWorks is a virtual exhibit of Java-related software technologies coming out of the research and development labs worldwide. The site provides a broad set of innovative technologies and resources, including APIS Apis (ā`pĭs), in Egyptian religion, sacred bull of Memphis, said to be the incarnation of Osiris or of Ptah. His worship spread throughout the Mediterranean world and was particularly important during the time of the Roman Empire. , devkits and utilities that developers can download and test for free.

IBM's latest developer offerings include a Java-based game dubbed dub 1

 CodeRuler. Built as an Eclipse plug-in, developers can program code using a simple Java API. If several machines exist on a network, developers can send code to the server and preview the most current code submitted by other development teams. This feature provides a unified way to test all existing game code in real-tme. CodeRuler was originally built for this years ACM (Association for Computing Machinery, New York, www.acm.org) A membership organization founded in 1947 dedicated to advancing the arts and sciences of information processing. In addition to awards and publications, ACM also maintains special interest groups (SIGs) in the computer field.  International Collegiate Programming Competition.

Other offerings are:

Method Scheduler for Java (MS4J) allows developers to execute methods on Java objects asynchronously and repeatedly to keep the data cache fresh and reduce response times and enhance the stability of a Website. MS4J has been powering IBM's intranet portal, w3.ibm.com, since 2001.

Asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end.  IO for Java (AJava) is an optimized solution for helping Java servers manage high volume distribution and enables input/output to be performed on sockets and files asynchronously. Java server applications need to be able to scale to tens of thousands of client connections (referred to as the "C10K' problem). AJava ensures that a Java server's application threads can hand-off I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output.

Application Privacy Monitoring for JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity) A programming interface that lets Java applications access a database via the SQL language. Since Java interpreters (Java Virtual Machines) are available for all major client platforms, this allows a platform-independent database  (APM (Advanced Power Management) A programming interface (API) from Intel and Microsoft for battery-powered computers that lets programs communicate power requirements to slow down and speed up components. See ACPI.

4JDBC) is a Java/SQL library that works with IBM's Tivoli Privacy Manager. APM4JOBC provides privacy monitoring funchons for J2EE applications running on a WebSphere application server and connected to IBM DB2 using JDBC.

Development Tool for Java-COM Bridge is an eclipse-based tool for developing and enabling tight communication between Java and COM-based applications. An application running on the Microsoft Wndows systems is typically constructed of a set of interconnecting components entirely based on Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) technology. The Rational Java-COM Bridge development tool enables the integration of both COM and Java-based components in one application and allows the two kinds of components to communicate bi-directonally through Java Native Interface (programming) Java Native Interface - (JNI) A native programming interface for Java that allows Java code running inside a Java Virtual Machine to interoperate with applications and libraries written in other programming languages such as C, C++ and assembly language.  technology.
