This is the second TechTalk in a series of planned Academic TechTalks at the IT-University of Copenhagen.
Title
Service-oriented development of distributed systems
Description
Windows Communication Foundation is a new framework for distributed computing on the Windows platform.
WCF contains a unified programming model embracing previous Microsoft technologies such as ASMX web services, WS-E, .Net Remoting, MSMQ etc. Future connected systems and services will benefit from late binding of endpoint, hosting and policy.
With WCF, IT professionals will take a greater part in deployment of services in distributed systems and developers will stay focused on service functionality and writing code. Not only is WCF the framework for service orientation and building connected systems in the Windows environment, but it is also a integrator of the heterogeneous server farm. Interoperability is a key factor.
This TechTalk will introduce and show samples of the programming model and the new possibilities.

JNBridge has released JNBridgePro - a Java and .NET interoperability tool that easily connects anything in Java to anything in .NET. OK, so how does this work?
JNBridgePro creates the interoperability bridge by generating a set of proxies that expose the classes' APIs and manages the communications between the .NET and Java classes. You can explore Java or .NET classes with an easy-to-use proxy generator GUI and determine which classes should have their functionality exposed. The communication architecture enables the construction of distributed systems with the choice of three communication channels: a fast in-process shared-memory channel, a TCP/Binary protocol based on .NET remoting or an HTTP/SOAP channel. JNBridgePro provides support for J2SE or J2EE and all of the leading J2EE application servers.
With JNBridgePro developers can access Java objects and classes from .NET as if they were .NET objects and classes, or access .NET objects and classes from Java. JNBridgePro v3.1 adds the ability to embed Java widgets written in AWT or Swing directly inside WinForm applications, or embed .NET WinForms controls into Java AWT, SWT, or Swing applications. That's pretty sweet!
