Overview
VisualAge (R) for Java (TM) for OS/2 (R) and for Windows (R),
Version 1 is a powerful rapid application development tool for
building Java-compatible applications, applets, and JavaBean
components using IBM's award-winning VisualAge Construction from
Parts.
With the VisualAge for Java programming environment, you can build
100% Pure Java applications, applets, and JavaBean components that
run on any Java-compatible Virtual Machine Java Development Kit (JDK
1.1) or inside any JDK 1.1-enabled browser. This is true rapid
application development. With VisualAge for Java you can add a
class, add or change a method, and then incrementally compile without
the need to exit the testing phase of development.
VisualAge for Java comes in two packages: the Professional product,
which includes VisualAge's Visual Composition Editor and single-user
version control, along with a Competitive Upgrade rebate coupon in
the box, and the Enterprise product, which adds the productive
Enterprise Access Builders for building JDBC interfaces to enterprise
data managed by database servers such as IBM's DB2 (R), for building
CICS (R) Java ECI interfaces to enterprise transactions managed by
the CICS Transaction Server for OS/390 (TM), or for building RMI or
C++ interfaces that connect to C++ and Java applications running on a
server -- an ideal solution for enterprises to extend their reach out
to the Web, or conversely for enterprising small businesses to
connect to a customer, supplier, or business partner. Also planned
for the Enterprise product is a fully integrated, repository-based
team environment that allows management of the development process on
Java projects with complete source and version control. This will be
shipped automatically to all registered customers later this year
when it becomes available.
Both products include code for developing on OS/2, Windows 95, or
Windows NT (TM).
Intended Customers
Application development programmers who want to extend existing
applications out to the Internet or intranet using 100% Pure Java
applications, applets, and JavaBeans, or conversely, who want to
develop new applications that connect to the enterprise
Key Prerequisites
Each VisualAge for Java product comes with two CD-ROMs -- one for
OS/2 Warp Version 4 and one for the Windows 95 or Windows NT
Version 4.0 environments. Code developed using any of these
environments can be deployed across any Java 1.1-enabled platform.
Planned Availability Dates
July 25, 1997
o VisualAge for Java Professional for OS/2 and for Windows,
Version 1.0
August 8, 1997
o VisualAge for Java Enterprise for OS/2 and for Windows,
Version 1.0
DESCRIPTION
IBM's VisualAge for Java Professional and Enterprise products assist
programmers with:
An Advanced Integrated Development Environment
Rather than coding an application's user interface, programmers can
use the Visual Composition Editor to assemble Java applets, Java
applications, and JavaBeans from preselected parts. They can drag
Java Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT), JavaBeans, or any other
JavaBeans that they have added to the palette and visually drop them
on to the canvas to generate user interface Java code. VisualAge for
Java supports the JavaBean component model, allowing existing Java
applets, applications, and JavaBeans to be imported and provides a
fast and easy way of exploiting the increasing number of components
that are available from third-party vendors. For example, using the
VisualAge for Java Enterprise product, you can import the Java class
libraries provided by the IBM Connectors for MQSeries (TM) Client for
Java or Java client support for IMS (TM) Connectors and use them with
new client applications.
VisualAge for Java supports the development of 100% Pure Java
applets, applications, or JavaBeans, which can be deployed to any JDK
1.1-enabled platform. For example, a Java applet can be deployed to
the OS/390 or OS/400 (R) platform using the JDK 1.1 implementation
for that platform. Because Java is CORBA Version 2.0-compliant, a
Java object can also be invoked by an application running under the
Component Broker Series management and use the services of the
Component Broker Series.
Next, during the debug or test phase of developing a program,
programmers often want to add a class or method or change a method.
VisualAge for Java allows you to modify your code while debugging.
The modified code is then compiled and inserted into the program
without the need to exit the debugger and perform a complete compile.
This incremental application development environment allows you to
focus on the program logic without waiting for a compile, making the
VisualAge for Java development environment task-oriented, not
tool-centric.
Collection Library
Included with the product is the Generic Collection Library for Java
(JGL) from ObjectSpace. JGL contains 11 optimized data structures
including sequential containers, sets, maps, and queues, and has been
designed with the JDK in mind. JGL maps extend java.util.Dictionary
and JGL methods follow the JDK conventions. JGL contains over 70
reusable algorithms such as sorting, union, and intersection.
Source and Version Control
VisualAge for Java features a repository-based development
environment with source and version control that allows you to keep
track of all source code changes made over time. The VisualAge for
Java source code repository is automatically updated each time a
change is made to the source code. A history of all changes made to
the Java application or applet are kept within the repository,
enabling you to back out any or all source code changes.
The VisualAge for Java Enterprise product includes the following
additional features:
Connecting the Enterprise to the Web
The Enterprise Access Builders within the VisualAge for Java
Enterprise product generate components that establish fast
connections between the Java client and CICS Transaction Servers for
OS/390, application servers, and data servers. Using the Visual
Composition Editor, the programmer connects the user interface parts,
the business logic parts, and the middleware components generated by
the Enterprise Access Builders or they can exploit the increasing
number of JavaBean components becoming available from third-party
vendors.
Because a "thin" Java client does not contain the software that
enables it to communicate with server data, transactions, or
applications, all communications and support code must be downloaded
from the server when the client program is invoked. So, to ease the
tasks associated with developing these client programs, VisualAge for
Java generates Enterprise Access JavaBean components that easily
extend the reach of existing server applications using the following
connectivity options:
o Java applications via Remote Method Invocation (RMI)
o C++ applications via Native Method Call (J2C++ & RMI)
o Relational database server applications via the Java Database
Connectivity API (JDBC)
o COBOL CICS/ESA (R) transactions via the Java External Call
Interface API (JECI)
Once generated, these Enterprise Access JavaBeans can be connected in
the Visual Composition Editor with user interface parts and business
logic parts to generate the code that is used at run time. The code
is downloaded to the Web client using the Java features and functions
of that client.
Consider the following two examples.
Example 1: Using the Enterprise Access Builder for CICS to build a
JECI JavaBean to connect to a CICS Transaction Server for OS/390
1. Download the COBOL application source file containing the COBOL
structure definition of the CICS communications area to a
directory on the machine running VisualAge for Java.
2. Start the Enterprise Access Builder for CICS SmartGuide from the
integrated development environment.
3. Complete the fields by entering the location of the previously
downloaded COBOL source file along with the COBOL structure name
for the CICS Transaction Server for OS/390 communications area and
the identifier for the program that will be invoked.
4. The newly generated JavaBeans are immediately available for use in
the Visual Composition Editor.
Example 2: Using the Enterprise Access Builder for Data to build a
JDBC JavaBean
1. Start the Enterprise Access Builder for Data from the integrated
development environment.
2. Complete the fields in the SmartGuide by selecting the data source
and table/column properties that a Java interface requires.
3. Visually modify any of the column properties or attributes.
4. Generate the data access JavaBeans.
5. The newly generated data access JavaBeans are immediately
available for use inside or outside of the Visual Composition
Editor.
Thus, you can extend existing business applications running on
Windows 95, Windows NT, OS/2, AIX (R), OS/400, and OS/390 to the Web
rather than rewriting an application from scratch.
Building Scalable Java Applications
VisualAge for Java Enterprise enables enterprises to build more
scalable client/server applications in Java. The components
generated by the Enterprise Access Builders allow servers to connect
to a "thin" Java client using faster middleware than the current HTTP
solutions on the market. The programmer selects the middleware that
runs between the client and the server, and VisualAge for Java
generates the code. This enables data and transaction flow rates
that cannot be matched by CGI scripts and single HTTP servers.
Managing Team-based Java Projects
VisualAge for Java Enterprise supports the ENVY team environment with
the refresh that will be sent automatically to all registered
customers later this year. The benefits of this environment are
twofold: first, it allows developers to work on a project at any one
given time while reducing the number of source code collisions that
arise when two developers are working on the same source code.
Second, it allows you to rebuild to any current or previous level of
code, which assists in the maintenance of applications, especially
when custom application work has been performed to meet customer
requirements. As Java development projects grow, VisualAge for Java
Enterprise assists in project management by keeping both the client
and the server portions synchronized.
JAVA RUN TIMES
The JDKs delivered on each of the following IBM platforms include the
standard components of the Sun JDK to allow applets and applications
to run on that platform.
Java for OS/390
Java for OS/390 will be available October 1997. Between now and
December 1997, IBM will make class library support available that
will allow OS/390 applications to access relational data, invoke IMS
and CICS transactions, and access record-oriented data via the
transaction subsystems. In addition, support will be included for
the invocation of the premier messaging system, MQSeries.
Java for OS/390 at the JDK 1.1 level will be available via FTP
download with additional details later via the OS/390 home page at
URL:
http://www.s390.ibm.com/os390/
Java for OS/390 is currently in Beta test at the JDK 1.0.2 level.
Additional information about the test, including how to become a
participant, can be found at URL:
http://www.s390.ibm.com/os390/os390jav.html
The level of JDK will change to JDK 1.1 this summer. Participants in
the current test will automatically have access to the new level.
Java for AS/400 (R)
Java for AS/400 will be available in the future. A Technology
Preview of Java for AS/400 is available today. This preview is a
port of Sun's JDK 1.0.2. The JDK 1.0.2 runs on top of OS/400 and is
not integrated into the operating system. The native Java for AS/400
will be integrated into OS/400 in the future at the JDK 1.1 level.
In the fourth quarter 1997, a Beta program will be announced for the
native Java for AS/400 product. We will also make an AS/400 toolbox
available at this time and it will include class library support
providing access to DB2 for OS/400.
Additional details will be announced in the future on Java for AS/400
on the AS/400 home page at URL:
http://www.as400.ibm.com/topthis/ot/home.htm
Java for OS/2
Java for OS/2, the first Java Virtual Machine to be included in an
operating system, was first made available in OS/2 Warp Version 4
shipped in September 1996. JDK 1.02 for OS/2 was delivered in
February 1997 and supports OS/2 Warp Version 3, OS/2 Warp Connect,
OS/2 Warp Version 4, and OS/2 Warp Server, including the SMP feature.
The most recent level of Java for OS/2 (JDK 1.1.1) is currently in
Beta test and will be made generally available in the third quarter
1997.
Java for OS/2 is delivered through the Internet and is available
through the IBM Software Choice site at URL:
http://www.software.ibm.com/oswarp/swchoice
Java for AIX
IBM's AIX implementation for JDK 1.1.1 is updated on the AIX 4.2
Bonus Pack provided optionally with AIX 4.2 at no additional charge.
Java for AIX Version 1.0 supports the AIX Just In Time (JIT)
compiler. Java for AIX Version 1.1.1 does not currently include the
AIX Just In Time (JIT) compiler. IBM intends to provide an updated
JIT in a future release of AIX.
In addition to the Bonus Pack, several versions of Java for AIX are
available at URL:
http://ncc.hursley.ibm.com/javainfo/hurindex.html
Year 2000
This product is year 2000 ready. When used in accordance with its
associated documentation, it is capable of correctly processing,
providing, and receiving date data within and between the twentieth
and twenty-first centuries, provided all other products (for example,
software, hardware, and firmware) used with the product properly
exchange date data with it.
STATEMENT OF GENERAL DIRECTION
It is IBM's intention to make this application development
environment available on AIX and other non-IBM UNIX (R) platforms.
