JAVA
JAVA
An object-oriented programming language
created by Sun Microsystems.
Java is a device-independent(Platform)
language, meaning that programs compiled in
Java can be run on any computer.
J2EE: (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) A platform from
Sun for building distributed enterprise applications.
J2EE services are performed in the middle tier between the
user's machine and the enterprise's databases and legacy
information systems(System that exist from long time which
cannot be upgraded or redesigned).
The current version is called Java EE 5 and the previous
version is called J2EE 1.4.
In other words you say advance version of Java is J2EE.
Core Component’s of J2EE
EJB(Enterprise Java Bean)
JSP
Java Servlets
EJB:
A software component in Sun's J2EE
platform, which provides a pure Java environment
for developing and running distributed applications.
EJBs are written as software modules that contain
the business logic of the application.
J2ME,J2SE and J2EE
* The Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME), for
handheld and other lower-end devices eg: mobiles,
palmtops etc
*The Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE),
targeted at desktop machines and include GUI,
AWT/Swings for standalone application or applet.
*The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE),
installed on servers and include EJB,JSP,Servlet etc.
Note:After 5.0 J2ME is changed to JME, J2SE is
changed to JSE and J2EE changed to JEE.
Java Servlets:
A Java application that runs in a Web server or application
server and provides server-side processing such as accessing a
database and e-commerce transactions.
JSP: (JavaServer Page)
An extension to the Java servlet technology from Sun that
allows HTML to be combined with Java on the same page.
The Java provides the processing, and the HTML provides the
page layout that will be rendered in the Web browser.
Java Application Server
Following the success of the Java platform, the term
application server sometimes refers to a Java Platform,
Enterprise Edition (J2EE) application server. Among the
better known commercial J2EE application servers are
WebLogic Server (BEA)
WebSphere (IBM)
JBoss (Red Hat)
JRun (Adobe)
Apache Tomcat
Difference between Application and Web Server?
A Web server serves pages for viewing in a Web browser,
while an application server provides methods that client
applications can call. A little more precisely, you can say that:
A Web server exclusively handles HTTP requests, whereas an
application server serves business logic to application
programs through any number of protocols.
FRAMEWORK
Def:
A software framework is a re-usable design for a software
system (or subsystem).
A software framework may include support programs, code
libraries, a scripting language, or other software to help
develop and glue together the different components of a
software project.
Types of Framework:
Struts
Spring
Hibernate
Ajax
Java Swing
* Swing is a GUI toolkit for Java.
* Swing includes graphical user interface (GUI) widgets
such as text boxes, buttons, split-panes, and tables.
* Swing is the extension of AWT (Applet)
JDBC
Java DataBase Connectivity is a programming interface that
lets Java applications access Database.
Web Services
Web services are sometimes called application services.
A software system designed to support interoperable Machine
to Machine interaction over a network.
Web services communicate using open protocols
Web Service elements
