Room 208 (Hynes Convention Center)
Speaker: Ian Mitchell, IBM(IBM Corporation)
Handouts
  • CICS Java Update (1.2 MB)
  • CICS has for a long time provided a Java environment for application
    development. In recent releases of CICS the JVM Server has transformed
    CICS into a first-class hosting environment for Java. This session will
    provide a brief history of the development of the Java environment within
    CICS, followed by a detailed look at the capabilities offered by CICS
    version 4. In particular we will look at how the OSGi framework provides
    excellent lifecycle management of Java applications without having to
    restart the JVM Server, how Java application can be eligible for zAAP
    offload thereby reducing the cost of a transaction, and how the JVM Server
    supports multiple concurrent transactions, reducing the storage
    requirements and the need for multiple JVM instances in a single region.
