The following Java platform software is now available for download on the JDC: o Java(tm) Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) version 1.0 http://java.sun.com/jdc/earlyAccess/xml/jaxb/ o Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition Client Access Services (J2EE(tm) CAS) COM Bridge http://java.sun.com/jdc/earlyAccess/j2eecas/download-com-bridge.html PRODUCT AND TECHNOLOGY RELEASES SOFTWARE. The following Java platform software and technology releases are now available for download: o JAVA(tm) MESSAGE SERVICE API The Java(tm) Message Service (JMS) Tutorial draft has two main purposes: o To introduce the JMS API to new users o To show how to use the JMS API within the J2EE platform http://java.sun.com/products/jms/tutorial/index.html o ECperf is a Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)(tm) benchmark meant to measure the scalability and performance of J2EE servers and containers. GUI and presentation are not the focus of this workload, nor are aspects of everyday DBMS scalability. ECperf stresses the ability of EJB containers to handle the complexities of memory management, connection pooling, passivation/ activation, caching, and so on. http://java.sun.com/j2ee/ecperf/download.html o Java(tm) Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - JAXB provides an API and tools that automate the mapping between XML documents and Java objects. JAXB makes XML easy to use by compiling an XML schema into one or more classes. The generated classes handle all the details of XML parsing and formatting, they ensure that the constraints expressed in the schema are enforced, and in many cases they are much more efficient than using a SAX parser or an implementation of the DOM (Document Object Model) API. JAXB 1.0 will be available as an optional package for the Java(tm) 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE(tm)). JAXB may be included in future releases of J2SE or the J2EE. http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxb/ o JavaHelp(tm) V1.1.2 JavaHelp 1.1 software is a full-featured, platform-independent, extensible help system that enables developers and authors to incorporate online help in applets, components, applications, operating systems, and devices. http://java.sun.com/products/javahelp/download_binary.html#update o Java(tm) 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE(tm)) version 1.4 A Beta release of the J2SE version 1.4 software for Windows, Linux, and the Solaris operating environment is now available! The key features new to J2SE v 1.4 are: * Foundation for Web services * Rich Client Functionality * Improved Performance and Scalability * Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability * Heightened Security http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - D E V E L O P E R P R O G R A M S A N D R E S O U R C E S o New Audiocasts Put yourself in the audience for audio presentations by experts in leading-edge Sun technologies.
