Agenda

• Why Java
• Why CF and Java
• J2SE integration
• J2EE integration
• Integration issues
• The wide world of Java
• Q A

3
Why Java

• Java has greater
• Power
• Flexibility
• Performance
• Code availability
• However, it comes at a cost!

4
Why CF And Java

• CFML is better than JSP!!!

5
J2SE Integration

• What is J2SE
• JVM
• JARs
• CFOBJECT
• CFX
• Reflection

6
What is J2SE

• Java 2 Standard Edition
• Specification
• JVM
• Core Java libraries
• Many different vendors

7
JVM

• Java Virtual Machine
• Runtime
• Abstracts underlying OS
• Executes Java bytecode
• Many different platforms

8
JARs

• Java Archive
• Provides packaging
• Similar to Unix tar
• Essentially a ZIP file containing
• Class files
• Property files
• Other meta data

9
CFOBJECT

• See code example

10
CFX

• See code example

11
Reflection

• See code example

12
J2EE Integration

• What is J2EE
• Servlet engines
• Application servers
• WARs
• EARs
• Servlets
• JSPs

13
What is J2EE

• Java 2 Enterprise Edition
• Specification
• Extends J2SE
• Enterprise services
• Servlet/JSP
• EJB
• JMS
• Many different vendors

14
Servlet Engines

• Implement only part of J2EE
• Provide Servlet and JSP services
• Apache Tomcat is reference implementation
• CFMX is not supported on Servlet engines
• CFMX can be configured to run on Servlet engines

15
Application Servers

• Implement all of J2EE
• Provide Servlet, JSP, EJB, JMS services
• CFMX is supported on certain application servers
• CFMX can be configured to run on all application
  servers

16
WARs

• Web Application Archive
• Provides packaging
• Similar to JAR
• Essentially a JAR containing everything a Servlet
  engine needs to deploy a web application

17
EARs

• Enterprise Archive
• Provide packaging
• Similar to JAR
• Essentially a JAR containing everything an
  application server needs to deploy a J2EE
  component

18
Servlets

• See code example

19
JSPs

• See code example

20
Integration Issues

• Primitives
• Casting
• Overloading
• Nulls
• Static classes

21
The Wide World Of Java

• JCP
• Apache
• JBoss
• SourceForge
