Java::Import is Perl module to use Java classes in Perl.

SYNOPSIS

use Java::Import qw(
some.package.SomeClass
);

my $instance = new some.package.SomeClass();
$instance->someMethod();

my $ret_val = some::package::SomeClass::someStaticMethod();
$ret_val->someMethod();

$ret_val2 = $instance->someOtherMethod($ret_val);
$ret_val2->someMethod();

my $java_array_ref $instance->someMethod2();
foreach my $obj ( @$java_array_ref ) {
$obj->someMethod();
}

The purpose of this module is to provide a simple method for using Java classes from a Perl program while using the latest in Open Source Java Technology. Thus, this module makes great use of the GNU Compiler Tools for Java in its implimentation.

Java::Import::Examples is an example of how to use Java::Import to call into Java classes.

Making RMI calls from Perl

One nice thing about Java is the extremely straight forward manner in which it allows you to make calls to remote objects residing on distant servers. Many people use this ability as a point of integration between their system and a posible third party or legacy system. Unfortunatly, for the most part the ability to make calls to these remote objects is something that only other Java applications can do without making a big fuss about it. However, we can now do this from Perl.

Assume that I have a RMI server from which I can get data from in the form of simple Java Beans. One method of doing this is to use the GCJ::Cni library and natively compile and wrap a set of Java Classes which can then be used from my Perl script. However, there is an easier way.

Lets begin by descriping the Java interfaces that well be working with. We first have the Remote Interface that we will be interacting with:

import java.rmi.*;
public interface RemoteInterface extends Remote {
public SomeBean getMessage(String seedMessage) throws RemoteException;
}
And we also have the bean we will be asking for:
import java.io.*;
public class SomeBean implements Serializable {
private String value;
public SomeBean() {}
public void setValue ( String _value ) { ... }
public String getValue ( ) { ... }
}
As far as any Perl client program is concerned this is all we need to know about.
Now all there is left to do is write a client:
use Java::Import qw(
java.rmi.Naming
);

my $remote_interface = java::rmi::Naming->lookup(jstring("//localhost/Home"));
my $bean = $remote_interface->getMessage(jstring("Hi there"));
print $bean->getValue(), "n";

Thats all there is. Notice that all we had to tell Java::Import about was java.rmi.Naming, this is because it was the only class we used by name in our Perl code, every other Java class (the objects held by $bean and $remote_interface) was returned by some other method call originating from java.rmi.Naming.

In order to run this example we have to make sure everything is in its place. We start by compiling the client code. Assuming that we have been given a Stub class file (RemoteObject_Stub.class) we can do the following:

gcj -C SomeBean.java RemoteInterface.java
fastjar -cvf client.jar SomeBean.class RemoteInterface.class RemoteObject_Stub.class

Making sure our server is reachable we can then run the client code:

CLASSPATH=client.jar perl client.pl

Thats it, you should then see the message returned by your server.

Java for C++ is a tool to generate C++-wrapper-classes for existing Java-classes. This tool reads a list of Java class names and creates source code for C++-classes to wrap them.
The implementation of the wrapper classes uses JNI (Java Native Interface) to call the "real" Java classes.
The C++-API to use these wrapper classes is very close to the API of the original Java classes. So developers of C++-software can use Java-classes as if they have been implemented in C++.
Enhancements:
- A problem where null values for method arguments, method return values, or field values caused some generated code to crash was fixed.
- Updating is strongly encouraged.

Java RSS Ticker is a Java RSS and Atom Ticker/Aggregator/Reader. I had checked out a number of tickers that look pretty as they scroll etc., but took a lot of CPU cycles and cost money. I wanted a simple, OS independent, ticker so I wrote this one in Java.

GData Java Client provides a library and source code that make it easy to access data through Google Data APIs.

The Google data APIs ("GData" for short) provide a simple standard protocol for reading and writing data on the web. GData combines common XML-based syndication formats (Atom and RSS) with a feed-publishing system based on the Atom publishing protocol, plus some extensions for handling queries.

Google also provides a set of client libraries for interacting with GData-enabled services, in a variety of programming languages. Using these libraries, you can construct GData requests, send them to a service, and receive responses.

Java-GNOME application is a set of Java bindings for the GNOME and GTK libraries that allow GNOME and GTK applications to be written in Java.

The Java-Gnome API has been carefully designed to be easy to use, maintaining a good OO paridigm, yet still wrapping the entire functionality of the underlying libraries.

Java-Gnome can be used with the Eclipse development environment and Glade user interface designer to create applications with ease.

Java-Gnome is part of the official Gnome Bindings Release, commiting us to high quality regular releases.

Java Network Stack provides a Java library for research oriented network programming.

Java Network Stack is a library used by the DIMES project to create new internet measurements. It provides a clean API for packet manipulation, send, receive, filter, and analysis. It is a unification of raw socket capabilities, MAC level networkingm, and IPv6 capabilities.
