Sponsored by XML Technology Partners
Abstract
Sun’s latest Java release, Java 2 Standard Edition version 1.4, promises record-breaking performance enhancements and more functionality for end-to-end enterprise development. These features include a logging api, assert(), regular expressions, more complete security, XML for enterprise integration, JDBC 3.0, CORBA api’s, full internationalization, drag-n-drop support, a complete printing api, and automated client deployment. Higher scalability is achieved with 64-bit support, and significant performance enhancements for reflection, 2D rendering, network, and I/O performance have been made. This presentation details the new features, contrasts them to current methods and technologies that they can replace, and provides code examples to enable the participant to quickly implement selected features
