APPLICATIONS WHICH

RUN ON JAVA
GROUP
 WHAT IS JAVA?

• Java is one of the most commonly-used

programming languages. It is multithreaded,
concurrent and object-oriented.
• WORA (Write Once, Run Anywhere)
TYPES OF APPLICATIONS WHICH RUN
ON JAVA
1. Desktop GUI Applications
2. Mobile Applications
3. Embedded Systems
4. Web Applications
5. Web Servers/Application Servers
6. Enterprise Applications
7. Scientific Applications
 DESKTOP GUI APPLICATIONS

• Java provides GUI development through many

different means such as Abstract Windowing Toolkit,
Swing, JavaFX, etc.

• Abstract Windowing Toolkit – pre-constructed

components
• Swing – advanced components
• JavaFX – quick scripting
 MOBILE APPLICATIONS

• Java ME – a cross-platform framework to build

applications that run across all Java-supported
devices.

• Software Development Kit – a set of software

development tools that allows the creation of
applications.
 EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

• Embedded Systems are components of larger

electromechanical systems which perform
dedicated tasks.
• Embedded Systems may range from tiny chips to
specialized computers.
• All Blu-ray Disc Players use Embedded Java
Technologies.
 WEB APPLICATIONS

• Java provides support for web applications through

Servlets, Struts, or JSPs.

• Servlets – extends the capabilities or a server

• Struts – open source framework that extends the
Java servlet Application Programming
Interface(API)
• JSP – helps software developers create dynamically
generated web pages
WEB SERVERS/APPLICATION SERVERS

• Web Servers – dominated by Apache Tomcat,

Simple, Jo!, Rimfaxe Web Server and Project Jigsaw

• Application Servers – dominated by server space,

WebLogic, WebSphere and Jboss Enterprise
Application Platform
 ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS

• Java EE – a platform that provides Application

Programming Interface(API) and runtime
environment for scripting and running enterprise
software.
• ~95% of enterprise computers, such as Murex, run
Java
 SCIENTIFIC APPLICATIONS

• Many software developers choose Java for writing

various applications involving scientific and
mathematical equations because Java is known to
be fast and secure.
• Java can be used for interacting user interface, as
part of the core system, or both. One such
application which uses both is Matlab.
