<h2> API - Extensions by Sun Microsystems </h2>
|
|
|
|
The following list contains an excerpt from the available
|
|
API definitions and implementations from SUN (for a start see
|
|
<a href="http://java.sun.com/products">Java Products</a> and go e.g. to Standard Extensions)
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jfc">JFC (Java Foundation Classes)</a><br>
|
|
That is where Swing comes from. For more info see
|
|
<a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc">The Swing Connection</a>.
|
|
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/index.html">Java<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP> Media Framework</a><br>
|
|
The Java Media Framework (JMF) 1.0 API specifies a simple,
|
|
unified architecture, messaging protocol, and programming interface
|
|
for media playback. This API was developed by Sun Microsystems,
|
|
Inc., Silicon Graphics Inc., and Intel Corporation.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
The Java Media Framework (JMF) 2.0 API extends the 1.0 API by
|
|
providing capture functionality, pluggable codecs, file saving, RTP
|
|
broadcast and the ability to access and manipulate media data before it
|
|
is rendered. This API is available for public review, and was developed
|
|
by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and IBM.
|
|
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/index.html">Java<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP> Advanced Imaging</a><br>
|
|
The Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) API is the extensible,
|
|
network-aware programming interface for creating advanced image processing
|
|
applications and applets in the Java programming language. The
|
|
Java Advanced Imaging API offers a rich set of image processing features
|
|
such as tiling, deferred execution and multiprocessor scalability.
|
|
Fully compatible with the Java 2D API, developers can easily extend the image
|
|
processing capabilities and performance of standard Java 2D applications
|
|
with the Java Advanced Imaging API.
|
|
<li> <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/products/javacomm/">Java<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP> Serial Port (COMM)</A> <br>
|
|
The Java Serial Port can be used to write platform-independent communications
|
|
applications for technologies such as voice mail, fax, and smartcards.
|
|
Its current version supports RS232 serial ports and IEEE 1284 parallel ports.
|
|
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/index.html">Java 3D<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP></a><br>
|
|
The Java 3DTM 1.1 API is a set of classes for writing
|
|
three-dimensional graphics applications and 3D applets. It gives
|
|
developers high level constructs for creating and manipulating 3D
|
|
geometry and for constructing the structures used in rendering that
|
|
geometry. Application developers can describe very large virtual
|
|
worlds using these constructs, which provides Java 3D with enough
|
|
information to render these worlds efficiently.
|
|
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/index.html">JavaMail</a><br>
|
|
The JavaMail API provides a set of abstract classes that models a mail system.
|
|
The API is meant to provide a platform independent and protocol
|
|
independent framework to build Java-based mail and messaging applications.
|
|
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javahelp/index.html">JavaHelp<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP></a><br>
|
|
JavaHelp is the Help system for the Java platform: it is a Java-based,
|
|
platform independent help system that enables Java developers to
|
|
incorporate online help for a variety of needs, including Java components,
|
|
applications (network and stand-alone), desktops, and HTML pages.
|
|
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/beans/glasgow/jaf.html">JavaBeans<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP> Activation Framework (JAF)</a><br>
|
|
With the JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF) developers can take
|
|
advantage of standard services to determine the type of an arbitrary
|
|
piece of data, encapsulate access to it, discover the operations
|
|
available on it and to instantiate the appropriate JavaBeans
|
|
component to perform these operations.
|
|
<li> <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/index.html">Java<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP> Servlet</A><br>
|
|
Java Servlet provides a uniform, industry-supported
|
|
interface for extending a web server with cross-platform and
|
|
cross-server components written in the Java Programming Language.
|
|
<li> <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jce/index.html">Java<SUP><FONT SIZE="-2">TM</FONT></SUP> Cryptography (JCE)</a><br>
|
|
The Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) 1.2 provides a framework and
|
|
implementations for encryption, key generation and key agreement, and Message
|
|
Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms. Support for encryption includes
|
|
symmetric, asymmetric, block, and stream ciphers. The software also supports
|
|
secure streams and sealed objects.
|
|
<LI><a href="http://java.sun.com/products/beans/infobus/index.html">InfoBus</a><br>
|
|
InfoBus enables dynamic exchange of data between JavaBeans components by
|
|
defining a small number of interfaces between cooperating Beans and specifying
|
|
the protocol for use of those interfaces.<BR>
|
|
The protocols are based on a notion of an information bus. All components
|
|
which implement these interfaces can plug into the bus. As a member of the
|
|
bus any component can exchange data with any other component in structured
|
|
way, including arrays, tables, and database rowsets.
|
|
<li><A HREF="http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/index.html">Java Naming and Directory Interface<FONT SIZE="1"><SUP>TM</SUP></FONT> (JNDI)</A><br>
|
|
Provides uniform, industry-standard, seamless connectivity from the
|
|
Java platform to business information assets, thus allowing developers to
|
|
deliver Java applications with unified access to multiple naming and directory
|
|
services across the enterprise.
