When Govindavajhala
Sudhakar, a Princeton
college student from
Bangalore, presented a
paper on JVM security at
an IEEE symposium on
computer security, the
press naturally took
notice.
My laptop goes where I
go. Some people like to
read; I like to hack
code. Just ask my wife -
I took the laptop on
vacation to the Cayman
Islands. The problem I'm
having is that I can
never predict the state
of my online connection. ...
In September 2002, Sun
released the J2ME
Personal Profile 1.0.
Unlike the MIDP, which is
the core technology for
Java-enabled wireless

Limited Device
Configuration (CLDC),
Personal Profile is based

I've recently returned
from the razzmatazz of
the eighth JavaOne in San
Francisco. The 2003

characterized by a
massive drive back to the
developer, with Sun
Microsystems attempting

JavaOne always provides
plenty of food for
thought. JavaOne 2003 was
no exception. This year,
Alan Williamson, our
beloved editor-in-chief,
organized a
'birds-of-a-feather'

editorial board. This is
quite an aus...
In my last editorial
(Vol. 8, issue 6), I
argued that we, as an
industry, have too much
innovation. We have
solutions pouring out our
ears, stuff we often
don't need, yet we use it
anyway. This month, I'd
like to clarify that

JDJ asked Grady Booch of
UML and Rational fame to

JavaServer Pages (JSP)
technology originated
more than four years ago
as a powerful way to
dynamically generate HTML
on the server side. Over
time, and with the input

J2SE is going through a
bit of an overhaul at the
moment, with the release
of J2SDK 1.5 (project
name 'Tiger') due at the
end of 2003. Sun
Microsystems ran a
feature article in May
about this release that
included a Q&A with
Joshu...
I'm sure we've all heard
it before: Java on the
client is slow; Swing is
slow. The reality is that
Sun has made great
progress in increasing
the speed of Swing and
Java on the client.
Many engineers complain
that the
non-deterministic
behavior of the garbage
collector prevents them
from utilizing the Java
environment for
mission-critical
applications, especially
distributed
message-driven displays
(GUIs) wher...
Where can you go to make
your MIDlets available to
the public? Let's take a
brief tour of some of the
Web sites that offer
MIDlets to the public and
explore some of the
factors you should
consider.
For the business people
of the world, Excel is
like mother's milk. I'm
convinced that my
neighbor, a financial
planner for an investment
bank, does our
homeowner's
reconciliation for fun: a
showcase for his Excel
prowess. It's a s...
