Java-Based Components of NetWare
NetWare includes the The Novell JVM for NetWare and the Just In Time
Compiler, along with the Java Naming Directory Interface (JNDI) and Java
Class Libraries (NJCL) for Novell, that enable you to run Java-based applets
and applications on the server.
The Java-based components are installed automatically when you install
NetWare. To use Java-based components, you must use TCP/IP. Instructions
for using Java-based components are found in “Using Java on the Server” on
page 63 and in ConsoleOne in Utilities Reference.
The Novell JVM for NetWare and the Just In Time Compiler
The Novell JVM for NetWare is comprised of several NLM programs that let
the NetWare server run Java-based applications and applets, including multi-
threaded applications and applications that use a graphical interface.
The JVM can run any application certified as 100% Pure Java, as described by
JavaSoft*. However, applications that are not 100% Pure Java must be ported
to NetWare.
NetWare includes the Symantec* Just In Time Compiler (JIT) to improve the
performance of Java-based applications.
NetWare also includes drivers for popular video cards and a utility that
automatically recognizes and configures your video card during NetWare
installation.
To run the Novell JVM, you need a minimum of 48 MB RAM and at least 128
MB to run graphical applications. The more memory your server has, the more
Java-based applications it can run.
For information about Java Class Libraries for Novell and the Java Naming
Directory Interface (JNDI), see the Novell Class Libraries for Java
documentation at the Novell DeveloperNet Web site (http://
