Next: Channel communication (continued)
Up: Experiments with ``HPJava''
Previous: Experiments at NPAC.
Have implemented a Java class library for channel communication.
Similar to dynamic channels in Fortran M.
Model attractive because
-
``Connection oriented'', so maps efficiently onto underlying Internet
socket operations.
-
Directly supports dynamic situations. New remote processes (eg, applets)
may come into existence unpredicably.
-
Layer of abstraction above Internet addresses, socket port numbers,
and resources controlled by Java security model.
