 Web It's official:
Oct 11 Microsoft
launches Java for .Net, in reversal of plans Elizabeth
Montalbano (CRN)
Oct 11 Apply here to screw Java:
Microsoft recruits more J# developers Andrew Orlowski (Register) No, J# was not a collective hallucination .
Oct 11 After J#, why would Internet Explorer still need a JVM? Brian Jepson Because .Net apparently
can't run applets.
Oct 10 Microsoft announces Visual J# .NET beta one
(Yahoo) Microsoft has set up a Web page for what they call Visual
J# .Net Beta. The new Visual J# integrates with Visual Studio .Net and serves as a follow-on for Microsoft's J++
language.

Oct 8 Microsoft posts new Java version of .Net - but then 'unposts' it (TheRegister,
et al) In an odd episode - that seems like something from the
Philadelphia Inquirer than from the world of information processing, Microsoft posted and then apparently withdrawn
a .Net enabled version of Java called J Sharp (J#) earlier today. This new release appears to have been found by
at least two independent observers and later reported in TheRegister:
. A First Look at Visual J# for .NET
Brian Jepson (O'Reilly)
. Microsoft silently released/leaked J#
(Develop Mentor)
. Microsoft
plans Java counterpunch for .NET Andrew Orlowski (TheRegister)
However, Microsoft then pulled the release according to the
following article: Microsoft
pulls stealth release by Andrew Orlowski (TheRegister). Even so, the J# announcement still remains active: Java language on .net
(Microsoft India) as of 10 PM Monday night PT. The article Visual
J# .NET briefly available for download (The Code Page) summarizes approximately what happenned. Although why it happenned remains a
guess.
Following the J# posting, The Code Page was quite ready....having prepared this Introduction to Visual J# .NET
tutorial by Chris Maunder
- either before or during J#'s brief release life. So whether it gets releasd or not, at least we'll know how to
use it. According to The Code Page J# did (does) not have RMI or JNI. Not having JNI makes some sense in that .Net
programs - including C++ are compiled to an intermediate language and then run in Microsoft's own virtual machine
so thus the JNI functionality would possibly need to be quite different. In an unrelated event, earlier Microsoft
delayed its new more expensive licensing program until July 2002 and is apparently permitting companies to re-image
(delete and centrally re-install) Windows, see Microsoft extends deadline for license change

Oct 8The History of 'Fido' (and a number of similar such things) Jason Scott (BBSDocumentary.com) Jason Scott is collecting and publishing a history of bulletin board systems
(BBS) - those things that used to exist when we had to dial up and get on. BBS's are a technology classic
that inspired praise and high respect for their authors and anyone who could install one. In the late 1980s,
there were over 5,000 of them in the U.S. alone. And they linked together. FIDO, created by Tom Jennings, was the
starting basis of FIDONet, the backbone news BBS system that ran on PCs, transfered articles around the world and
eventually connected to UseNet. Another BBS called, DLX, created by Richard Gillmann was a highly efficient
mutli-user text chat BBS that could handle over a hundred users simultaneously - all talking at once. All
you needed to run it was - well, 100 modems and, of course, 100 telephone line. The site has a directory of every
BBS the author could find - which is quite a few. A great read for computer history buffs or those feel the need
to wax nostalgic about bulletin boards. See:

Sun and the Java community began to deliver two more pieces of the Web services platform puzzle today with JSR
154 and 153 (see also JSR 154 under J2EE below). Java Servlet 2.4 is intended to make deployment far more modular
to address needs of JAXM and JAX-RPC. It enhances the security model and provides logging facilities. It will also
take advantage of the J2SE 1.4 IO package.

is to talk to ten designers." Extreme methodologies aside,
the article seems to show one key to making such decisions is to be sure you are familiar with information life-cycles
in the JSP/Servlet layer. An excellent read.

rewrite and refactoring of Cocoon to "remove all those design constraints", according to the project
Website. The changes emphasize improved scalability: Cocoon 2 as switched from a DOM Level 1 API to a SAX API.
As a result Cocoon 2 can now process multiple 100 Mb documents at the same time with greatly reduced memory and
GC requirements.
Cocoon 2 is more of a serverside application and less client side. Cocoon privides staticWeb re-generation
by creating "site makefiles," adds direct Web caching enhancements. The new version also introduces
the "Sitemap concept." - an XML super-structure that maps views, pipelines, transformations, other
actions and other resources for the site.

Sep 28 Microsoft
adds Java support to database Wylie Wong (CNet) According to the article, analysts believe this doesn't affect many Java developers.
And it probably doesn't. However, Microsoft's agreement with Merant does place the company's SQL Server database
back into the mainstream and makes it available for J2EE servers with a manufacturer supported JDBC driver. Previously,
Microsoft was the only manufacturer in the database industry without its own JDBC driver. The move also gets the
software giant out from under the thumb of rival BEA who makes a very expensive JDBC driver. Microsoft will post
the JDBC driver on its Web site at: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/default.asp See also Sep 25 Microsoft, MERANT
DataDirect SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver beta to be available for download (Yahoo) Note: There are already a

Com, NTT DoCoMo to launch FOMA-capable VPN service for Mobile Phones (AsiaBizTech) |
No static at all dept.
3G arrives.... NTT DoCoMo's
3G service introduction is set to start in just a few hours. And Sprint PCS not only has a commitment to Java,
they have a commitment to the FCC - as do other mobile carriers to provide location services. Other carriers want
to delay. Not Sprint. So some 12 hours after the DoCoMo's 3G startup, Sprint will start selling GPS enabled phones.
Additional 3G related tests of varying kinds will also start soon, although some people see the NTT DoCoMo 3G intro
as basically a test run. So for many people, this just brings up questions. For instance, I and many people hope
3G will be a success. But how will we know? There's at least one way I can think of to tell...
maybe we'll see people start calling them "smart phones"
- which they are and stop calling them "cell phones" - which they're not. That would be major....And
another question...now that 3G is here, what is it?
