Softwired iBus//Mobile, Version 3.0 - the bridge between Microsoft.NET and Java.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers JavaOne 2002 ZURICH, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 26, 2002 Millions of J2ME (Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition) A version of Java 2 for cellphones, PDAs and consumer appliances. J2ME uses the K Virtual Machine (KVM), a specialized Java interpreter for devices with limited memory. devices can now communicate reliably and in real-time with PocketPC devices based on .NET over wireless networks Today Softwired - the leading provider of reliable and secure mobile applications middleware -- announces a major technological advance with version 3.0 of its iBus//Mobile messaging middleware Software that provides an interface between applications, allowing them to send data back and forth to each other asynchronously. Data sent by one program can be stored in a queue and then forwarded to the receiving program when it becomes available to process it. . Softwired's iBus//Mobile is used today by telecommunications companies to provide a platform for mobile devices based on J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition,) to reliably send alerts, run multi-user services, games and to support high productivity mobile business applications. The iBus//Mobile product is based on the Java Message Service (programming, messaging) Java Message Service - (JMS) An API for accessing enterprise messaging systems from Java programs. Java Message Service, part of the J2EE suite, provides standard APIs that Java developers can use to access the common features of enterprise message systems. (JMS (Java Messaging Service) A programming interface (API) from Sun for connecting Java programs to messaging middleware such as IBM's MQSeries and TIBCO's Rendezvous. JMS is part of Sun's J2EE platform. See J2EE. JMS - Java Message Service ) specification, which allows information to flow reliably between mobile devices and backend business systems. Now iBus//Mobile allows pure .NET applications to participate in this universal message flow either as backend .NET-based applications or as client applications running on PocketPC-based communicator devices. The iBus//Mobile 3.0 product is targeted at developers of mobile applications, right from those building interactive multi-user games to those needing full transactional support for enterprise solutions. Creating rich applications for mobile devices linked to legacy systems just became a great deal easier. Programmers can now use not only the Java environment (Java- 2 Micro Edition on mobile devices, and Java-2 Enterprise Edition at the backend), but also the full power of any .NET programming language such as C# or VisualBasic.NET to create those interactive, mobile applications. Whether Java or .NET, developers use the Java Message Service (JMS) API to reliably exchange messages in a Queuing or Publish/Subscribe style interaction, and let the iBus middleware deal with store and forward, packet loss recovery on mobile networks or devices roaming between different styles of mobile networks. Also new with this release is the packaging of iBus//Mobile: From small-scale deployment of a handful of mobile clients, up to nationwide mobile networks with effectively millions of concurrent users/devices, iBus//Mobile is packaged to meet all needs, from bridging to SMS/WAP/MMS systems, applet support or the full integration of Web Services (1) Loosely, any online service delivered over the Web. Such usage appears in articles from non-technical sources, but not in IT-oriented publications, because definition #2 below describes the correct use of the term. via SOAP. iBus//Mobile is not only used by leading telecom operators, it is also the key mobile technology in the latest versions of the wireless-enabled Code-Warrior products from Metrowerks, bundled with the latest KADA Mobile Ready to Optimize Implementations (ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). ) and is featured on the Hewlett Packard CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc. CD-ROM in full compact disc read-only memory Type of computer storage medium that is read optically (e.g., by a laser). "Mobile Toolkit for HP Application Server". iBus//Mobile also works with the leading IDEA 128 bit encryption software Encryption software is software whose main task is encryption and decryption of data, usually in the form of files on hard drives and removable media, email messages, or in the form of packets sent over computer networks. from MediaCrypt. Key New Features: - iBus//Mobile 3.0 provides a native JMS client library for Microsoft(R) .NET. This means the full power of the JMS API inside C#, VisualBasic.NET, and other .NET programming languages. - For resource-constrained MIDP devices (e.g., Siemens SL45i) iBus//Mobile provides the iBus JMS Lite Connector client (called JMS LC): A small-footprint (12K) JMS client library allowing MIDP devices to send and receive JMS messages over HTTP. - WebServices support: iBus//Mobile 3.0 supports SOAP- via-JMS invocation, and contains a SOAP-based JMS API. This means that applications can send and receive JMS messages through a SOAP interface, and therefore no JMS client library need be installed for such an application. Server applications can use the JMS API transparently to enqueue SOAP requests, and dequeue SOAP replies. This allows invoking WebServices in a fault-tolerant and asynchronous manner. - Applet support. The iBus//Mobile JMS client library can be used inside Applets. JMS communication occurs over HTTP, HTTPS, TCP or UDP.
