New "Windows Programming Using Java" Website

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 06:52:27 MDT
Our newly created "Windows Programming Using Java" website
(http://fivedots.coe.psu.ac.th/~ad/winJava/ (http://fivedots.coe.psu.ac.th/~ad/winJava/)) is for programmers who want to extend Java's capabilities on Windows XP and/or Vista, but aren't sure where to start. One of the drawbacks of Java's portability is that
many Java programmers have a rather sketchy knowledge of Windows-specific programming.

We plan to explain how Java applications can utilize Windows application software, OS features, and hardware beyond the reach of Java's standard libraries. A variety of Java/Windows programming techniques will be explained, including:

* Java's employment of the Win32 API via C, JNI, and J/Invoke.

Servlet interview questions

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 07:13:59 MDT
What is a servlet?

Servlets are modules that extend request/response-oriented servers,such as Java-enabled web servers.

Servlets are to servers what applets are to browsers. Unlike applets, however, servlets have no graphical user interface.

Whats the advantages using servlets over using CGI?

Servlets provide a way to generate dynamic documents that is both easier to write and faster to run. Servlets also address the problem of doing server-side programming with platform-specific APIs: they are developed with the Java Servlet API, a...
