Implementations

Rendezvous Java language interface offers several implementations. Implementations summarizes and compares them. To specify an implementation, see Archive Files, and Tibrv.open().

Implementations

Aspect

JNI (Native)
Preferred

JNI (Native)
Backward Compatibility

Suggested Usage

Use in most situations.

Use only for backward compatibility, when it is impractical to migrate to the JNI preferred implementation.

Coding

A thin Java layer serves as a programming interface to an underlying C implementation.

Primary Runtime Environment

Independent application

Independent application or browser applet

Scope of Functionality

Maximal coverage of C functionality.
Exception: I/O events

Speed

Faster for all receiving applications—whether they access all fields or only a small subset of fields from inbound messages.

Slower for all receiving applications.

Retained for backward compatibility only.

Transport Support

rvd and intra-process transports

rvd and intra-process transports

Message Storage

Messages exist both in Java (garbage-collected) storage and in native C (JNI) storage.

Timer Granularity

Supports fine-resolution timers (within operating system limitations)

Forward Feature Support

In release 8.0 and later, only this implementation supports new features; for example, sending message arrays, vector listeners, dispose.

None

Library Requirements

Must load the Rendezvous JNI library
