Presentation: "Java/.NET interoperability"
Wednesday 10:00 - 10:45, Protected Room
Wednesday 11:00 - 11:45, Protected Room
Java/J2EE and .NET are often compared with a focus on making an either/or
decision between them. Alex starts his talk at a high level by looking at the
factors that are important in making technology choices. He then makes a case
for integration by demonstrating situations where such an either/or decision
between Java and .NET is simply not feasible. With the high-level questions
settled, Alex will delve into the technical issues that an integrator will
face. This will include a comparison of the object models, problematic issues
with .NET's CLS specification, and will be followed by a detailed analysis of
the possible integration approaches. As part of the talk, Alex will discuss
APIs like the Java Native Interface and .NET's Interop functionality. Finally,
he will demonstrate a successful integration of J2EE enterprise components like
JMS and EJB with .NET client software.
