JavaZone 2010 - Beyond Java: Enterprise Apps, Script Programming, and the JVM
The Java Virtual Machine has become the most frequent target for the implementation of new programming languages. Both scripting and compiled languages find a home in the JVM that gives them unprecedented portability. These languages can be used in the development of enterprise applications by augmenting or leveraging the Java platform’s functionality, or by eliminating the need of using the Java language altogether. Learn how to go about building third-party language functionality from Python, Ruby, or others into your enterprise Java applications, what to look for, what to avoid, and when and why it’s a good idea.
