The Father of Java Answers Questions on the Cloud, SOA and Java
From the viewpoint of the James Gosling, Sun Microsystems VP and Fellow, users can take home a few golden nuggets about the Cloud, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), and Java in the question and answer session prepared by Jason Stamper, Editor of Computer Business Review (CBR).
Answers Revealed
Within the London community, Gosling said, "The major theme is that there’s a heck of a lot of stuff going on." Key themes included Java and the evolution of the enterprise platform and the initiatives that bring developer tools for rich user interfaces and improved interaction.
Gosling defined what was happening with JavaFX and the building of desktop-style applications that are available over the Internet.
He explained the differences between Sun`s Java offerings versus what Adobe Flash or Microsoft Silverlight provided.
Discussed Java VM, why it came it about, and how it can be used for applications such as cellphones and even smartcards.
Java VM security was described and the measures taken to determine how it interacted with other VMs.
"Sandboxes" help keep one area from leaking into another, which this design helps Java VM provide dependability.
Java`s role in cloud computing was described, "Now this is the first attempt to build a really open cloud that allows people to do anything. The Java APIs make working in a cloud quite easy. The issues now are how you grant public access, how you bill for it and how you authenticate in that environment," said Gosling.
Cloud computing and higher level services were discussed that go beyond Amazon offerings.
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) philosophy was discussed as well as Gosling`s preferred programming methods.
Java as open source cannot be controlled because of the vast community, nor should anyone attempt to do so.
