1. JADE: A Case Study Neil Readshaw (readshaw@dascom.com) IntraVerse NetSEAT Product Manager Building DCE Applications for the Internet Era

2. Presentation Outline Java/DCE Background Case Study: IntraVerse Console Product Delivery: IntraVerse NetSEAT Conclusion

3. Java/DCE Motivations Interoperability between Java and non- Java environments Integrated authentication between Java clients and DCE servers Integrated authorization between Java and DCE Preserve investment in existing DCE servers Extend DCE to Java platforms

4. Java/DCE Background Chisholm Technologies –JDCE wraps standard DCE APIs via JNI –Product currently available –Acquired by DASCOM Dec 1997 The Open Group RI –JADE ATO commenced 1996 –Sponsored by DASCOM, Digital and Chisholm –Final snapshot (February 1998) delivered Java-capable IDL compiler, class library.

5. JADE Object Model RPC Proxy Class (Java) Remote RPC Server (C/C++) Interface Class (Java) Method InvocationBind Java Applet or Application DCE RPC

6. Case Study: IntraVerse Console

7. IntraVerse Console: Implementation User Registry Interaction –uses JDCE directly to interact with the DCE security server IntraVerse Server Interaction –Java-capable IDL compiler used to construct classes and interfaces –Generated code called in the same way as local Java methods.

8. IntraVerse System Architecture

9. Benefits of the JADE Approach Application code is highly portable RPC mechanism does not need to be understood by application programmers Application servers do not have to be Java: –a controlled strategy for migration to 100% Java environments –protects investment in C/C++ DCE application servers Authentication and authorization can be integrated with other Enterprise services JADE Toolset gives a competitive advantage to application developers

10. Product Delivery: IntraVerse NetSEAT Technology Offering –Java-capable IDL compiler –JDCE class library and native platform components –JADE class library –Documentation Generated class library pages in HTML Functional specification for Java/DCE mapping

11. Product Delivery: IntraVerse NetSEAT Product Packaging –JDCE For standard DCE APIs. –IntraVerse NetSEAT Client JDCE class library and native platform components JADE class library –IntraVerse NetSEAT ADK Java capable IDL compiler Class library documentation Java/DCE mapping documentation

12. Product Delivery: IntraVerse NetSEAT Availability –JDCE AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Digital UNIX, and Windows NT platforms Available today –IntraVerse NetSEAT Windows NT/95 platforms Pre-release available late Q2 1998 General availability Q3 1998

13. Conclusion JADE provides a high quality set of tools for modernizing DCE application development IntraVerse Console team uses these tools to gain a competitive advantage Timely product availability Demonstration available in San Diego
