Java is Cross Platform

Compiles to machine-independent bytecode
Java
Source Code
Compiler
(javac)
Java Bytecode
Java Bytecode
JIT Compiler
or Interpreter
Execution
Windows, MacOS, OS/2, Solaris,

Java has a portable graphics library
Java avoids hard-to-port constructs
StarOffice 5.2

No dangling pointers
No memory leaks
Java simplifies pointer handling

No reference/dereference operations
No makefiles/No header files

C++ syntax streamlined

9
Java is Object Oriented

All functions are associated with objects
Member functions are only functions
Some describe it object-obsessed
Almost all datatypes are objects

Files, arrays, strings, sockets, etc.
Still have primitive types for efficiency
byte, short, int, long, float, double, char, boolean
Object is a common ancestor of all classes
10
Java is Rich with Powerful

Standard Libraries
Threads (lightweight processes)
Building and using data structures Java
Foundation Classes
Parsing strings/streams
JDK 1.4 supports Regular Expressions
Arbitrary precision integers and fixed-point

arithmetic
Serialization (saving object state to disk
or sending via socket)
Invoking remove objects RMI
Interfacing with relational databases JDBC
And many more
11
Java Versions
Java 1.0 released in 1995
Java 1.1 released in early 1997
A new event-handling model based on listeners

Remote method invocation (RMI) and object serialization
Support for inner and anonymous classes
Arbitrary precision integers and floating-point numbers
Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) API for connecting
relations databases
JavaBeans component architecture (Javas answer to
ActiveX)
Digitally signed applets to extended security privileges
without resorting to the all or nothing model of browser
plug-ins or ActiveX
12
Java Versions, cont.

Java 2 Platform released in December 1998
Standard Edition (JDK 1.2)

Major Enhancements:
Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI)a
directory service for registering and looking up
resources (objects)
RMI-IIOPa protocol to communicate with distributed
clients that are written in CORBA-compliant language
JDK 1.4 released in Spring 2002

Major Enhancements
14

Enterprise JavaBeans for bundling business logic in
server-side components
JDBC data access for scrollable database queries (result
sets)
JavaMail to send and receive mail with SMTP, POP3, or
IMAP4 protocols
JAXP for parsing XML documents
Java Message Service for asynchronous communication
between enterprise applications
15
Which Version Should

You Use?
Applets
Use JDK 1.1
Internet Explorer 4.0 and later and Netscape 4.06 through
4.72 support JDK 1.1. Netscape 6 and later support JDK
1.3.
Java Plug-In is required for later versions of Java
Applications
For standard applications use JDK 1.4 (known as Java 2
SDK, Standard Edition, Version 1.4)
Best Approach
Use JDK 1.4, but bookmark the JDK 1.1 API to check
available methods when writing applets
16
Getting Started: Nuts and Bolts

1. Install Java
JDK 1.4
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/
JDK 1.1
No longer supported by Sun

Compile to JDK 1.1 byte code using target
directive
2. Install a Java-Enabled Browser

Netscape Navigator
http://home.netscape.com/download/
Microsoft Internet Explorer
http://www.microsoft.com/ie/download/
Suns HotJava
17
http://java.sun.com/products/hotjava/
Getting Started: Nuts and Bolts,

cont.
3. Bookmark or install the on-line Java API
Java 2 SDK, Version 1.4 (JDK 1.4)
API Specification, http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/

API Download,
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html#docs
Java 1.1(JDK 1.1)
API and Documentation,

http://java.sun.com/products/archive/jdk/1.1/index.html
4. Create and run a Java program
18
Create the file

Compile it
Run it
Getting Started: Details

1. Create the File
Write and save a file (say Test.java) that defines

public class Test
File and class names are case sensitive and must match
exactly
2. Compile the program
Compile Test.java through

javac Test.java
This step creates a file called Test.class
If you get a deprecation warning, this means you are

using a Java construct that has a newer alternative
19
Use javac -deprecation Test.java for an

explanation, then look the newer construct up in the
on-line API
Getting Started: Details, cont.

3. Run the program
For a stand-alone application, run it through
java Test
Note that the command is java, not javac, and

that you refer to Test, not Test.class
For an applet that will run in a browser, run it by

loading the WWW page that refers to it
20
10
Basic Hello World Application

Application is Java lingo for a stand-alone
Java program
Note that the class name and the filename match
A file can contain multiple classes, but only one can be
declared public, and that ones name must match the
filename
File HelloWorld.java:
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, world.");
}
}
21
Basic Hello World Application,

cont.
Compiling:
javac HelloWorld.java
Running:
java HelloWorld
Output:
Hello, world.
22
11
Command Line Arguments

Differences from C
In Java String is a real type
Java arrays have an associated length
The file name is not part of the command line arguments
File ShowArgs.java:
public class ShowArgs {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for(int i=0; i<args.length; i++) {
System.out.println("Arg " + i + " is " +
args[i]);
}
}
}
23

Basic Hello WWW Applet

File HelloWWW.java:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
public class HelloWWW extends Applet {
public void init() {
setBackground(Color.gray);
setForeground(Color.white);
setFont(new Font("SansSerif", Font.BOLD, 30));
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("Hello, World Wide Web.", 5, 35);
}
}
25
Basic Hello WWW Applet, cont.

File HelloWWW.html:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>HelloWWW: Simple Applet Test.</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>HelloWWW: Simple Applet Test.</H1>
<APPLET CODE="HelloWWW.class" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=40>
<B>Error! You must use a Java enabled browser.</B>
</APPLET>
26
</BODY>
</HTML>
13
Basic Hello WWW Applet, cont.

Compiling:
javac target 1.1 HelloWWW.java
Running:
Load HelloWWW.html in a Java-enabled browser
27
Customizing Applets with

PARAM
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
public class Message extends Applet {
private int fontSize;
private String message;
public void init() {
setBackground(Color.black);
setForeground(Color.white);
fontSize = getSize().height - 10;
setFont(new Font("SansSerif", Font.BOLD, fontSize));
// Read heading message from PARAM entry in HTML.
message = getParameter("MESSAGE");
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
if (message != null)
g.drawString(message, 5, fontSize+5);
}
28
14

PARAM, cont.
29
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>The Message Applet</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="WHITE">
<H1>The <CODE>Message</CODE> Applet</H1>
<P>
<APPLET CODE="Message.class" WIDTH=325 HEIGHT=25>
<PARAM NAME="MESSAGE" VALUE="Tiny">
<B>Sorry, these examples require Java</B>
</APPLET>
<P>
<APPLET CODE="Message.class" WIDTH=325 HEIGHT=50>
<PARAM NAME="MESSAGE" VALUE="Small">
<B>Sorry, these examples require Java</B>
</APPLET>
...
</BODY>
</HTML>

PARAM, Result

Summary
Java is a complete language, supporting
both standalone applications and Web
development
Java is complied to bytecode and can be
run on any platform that supports a Java
Virtual Machine
Java 2 Platform is bundled as a Standard
Edition and Enterprise Edition
Most browsers support only JDK 1.1
Install Java Plug-In for later versions of Java
