Java Technology - Tools

Java API's

• JAX-RS - (Oracle/Sun MicroSys) - Java API for RESTful Web Services - implementations - Jersey(Sun/Oracle),RESTeasy(jboss),Restlets - JAX RS API
• JAX-WS - (Oracle/Sun MicroSys) - Java API for XML Web Services (The JAX-WS 2.2 specification JSR 224 defines a standard Java- to-WSDL mapping which determines how WSDL operations are bound to Java methods when a SOAP message invokes a WSDL operation. This Java-to-WSDL mapping determines which Java method gets invoked and how that SOAP message is mapped to the method’s parameters.This mapping also determines how the method’s return value gets mapped to the SOAP response.)
• JAX-RPC - JAX-WS 2.0 replaced the JAX-RPC API in Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 which leans more towards document style Web Services
• JAXB - Java Architecture for XML Binding - JAXB is particularly useful when the specification is complex and changing. In such a case, regularly changing the XML Schema definitions to keep them synchronised with the Java definitions can be time consuming and error-prone.
• JAXP - Java API for XML parsing - DOM/SAX parsers

SAX and XSLT are both included in the JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) API, which has been a part of J2SE since version 1.4

• JAX-M
• JAX-R - Java API for XML Registries
• REST - REpresentational State Transfer
• Java Bean Validation (JSR 303) is a framework that has been approved by the JCP as of 16 November 2009 and is accepted as part of the Java EE 6 specification.
• JSR 311 API
• Bean Validation API - (Oracle/Sun MicroSys) - used for REST
• EJB - EJB was developed by IBM in 1997.EJB was taken over by Sun Microsystems in 1999 (1.0-3.1)
• J2EE - A collection of synchronized specifications and procedures, which enable solutions regarding deploying, developing supervising multi-tier server-centric applications, is called J2EE.
• JSF - JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a user interface (UI) designing framework for Java web applications.
• JPA(Java Persistence API) - Hibernate people developed/recommended - ORM tool
• CDI - JAVA - spring activities - for replacing jews, spring - now no longer look like EJB
• RHINO - OPENCLOUD

Operating Systems :

• IBM AIX - AIX is IBM's Unix implementation, which it develops for a number of its products, notably the IBM SP series. Other manufacturers, such as Motorola, also produce hardware that runs AIX. AIX incorporates elements of System V, BSD, and OSF/1, but includes enough unique features to make using, and especially administering, AIX somewhat different from working with other Unix implementations. Nevertheless, recent versions are compliant with most Unix standards.
