The program also describes how database access, a key part of many web-based applications, can be accomplished. This program explains what Java is and why this new environment is so important. It also describes key Java-based technologies such as JavaBeans, and offers comparisons with competing technologies. The goal is to provide an understanding of this new technology and of the role it's likely to play in a modern computing environment. It describes the services MTS provides, shows how MTS applications are structured, and illustrates how MTS applications can be integrated with web-based clients.
Description Reusing existing code is a major goal of object technology.
Still, the currently available approaches have yet to bring about a significant market for reusable objects. Component software promises to change this situation. First widely visible in Microsoft's Visual Basic, the idea has spread to Java and other environments. It also compares competing approaches, such as Microsoft's COM and JavaBeans, showing how each addresses this new area. The goal is to provide the information required to begin making reasonable choices in this emerging world.
