Hello ,
I am very new to Java and try to evaluate how useful it could be for my work.
I have a few question :
- As far as I have understood, a "client" part of a java application
(HotJava for instance) can ask a "server" part to send him a java portion
of code across the network and execute it in local. In this case we can say
that the code migration is done "on demand". Is it possible to imagine the
invert process ? I mean that an application decide to send a java code
(why not itself) to another guy, and execute on the other machine
("a la" Telescript).
Ex : I have updated some information on my personnal database, I'd like to
notify the changes to other machines.
- Is there any plan to port Java/Hotjava on OS/2 ?
- Java seems to be very WWW oriented, am I wrong ?
- What is the relationship between Java and the Corba standard ? I didn't read
any mention about Corba in the paper I have read. Corba pretend to be an
industrial solution for distributed application, and then to solve some of
the problems discussed in the Java Language White Paper.
Moreover, there are project to provide a Corba based environment for the WWW.
Is there any plan to interface Java with Corba ?
Thanks in advance
