When creating or using Java applications, you may have experienced some interesting rollover and/or selection effects when using default Swing mechanisms. A more consistent, more common result can be reached using the Java 2D API which allows you to methodically define composite values for rollover and selection events. In this article, discover how images are constructed within Java language and how they can be manipulated using AWT composites.

Bokai Barcode Image Generator Java component (Barcode/JSP) 2)    Bokai Barcode Image Generator Java component (Barcode/JSP)
 Bokai barcode image generator Java component is a barcode java bean (barcode control) that generates barcode images in PNG or JPEG format without requiring your web server (e.g., Apache with Tomcat) to run in graphics mode (i.e., without X-Window). Your regular HTML pages can embed a bar code image URL (pointing to the barcode sevlet or barcode JSP file) in an IMG element without programming necessary. The barcode generator can also be used to draw directly to a Graphics object (screen or pr...

Session Initiation Protocol Tool Kit for Java 3)    Session Initiation Protocol Tool Kit for Java
 Session Initiation Protocol Tool Kit is an application-layer control protocol to control one or more participants by creating, modifying and terminating sessions. This provides an application layer interface for sessions that use the SIP protocol for control signaling. Session Initiation Protocol Tool Kit for Java also can implement API for the Java Integrated Networks (JAIN) by supporting an interface. It also supports media implementations like the one provided by Java Media Framework (JMF...

Your guide to weblet security 4)    Your guide to weblet security
 Weblets are Java programs that run in a browser, using DirectDOM to directly manipulate displayed documents. Like most Web-based programs, weblets pose a threat to system security if they`re mishandled. Fortunately, weblets come with built-in security in the form of the Java sandbox. This final installment of a three-part series on DirectDOM and weblet-based development shows you how to use the sandbox to your best advantage. With simple, working examples, this article demonstrates what a web...

Threading lightly : Reducing contention 7)    Threading lightly : Reducing contention
 While it`s common to hear that synchronized method calls can be 50 times as expensive as unsynchronized method calls, these numbers can actually be quite misleading. With each successive JVM version, overall performance has improved, and the cost of uncontended synchronization has been reduced, making the issue of uncontended synchronization overhead less significant. Contended synchronization, however, is quite expensive. Moreover, a high degree of contention is disastrous for scalability --...

Building management applications with Jiro and WBEM 8)    Building management applications with Jiro and WBEM
