Totally agree. I really have no idea why Microsoft dropped J# from VS2005 onwards, but I'm not an expert on MS's strategies anyways:
(Visual J# Developer Center) "...Retirement of J# language and Java Language Conversion Assistant from future versions of Visual Studio Since customers have told us that the existing J# feature set largely meets their needs and usage of J# is declining, Microsoft is retiring the Visual J# product and Java Language Conversion Assistant tool to better allocate resources for other customer requirements. The J# language and JLCA tool will not be available in future versions of Visual Studio. To preserve existing customer investments in J#, Microsoft will continue to support the J# and JLCA technology that shipped with Visual Studio 2005 through to 2015 as per our product life-cycle strategy..." It's a pitty since I was so willing to maintain direct JTS/JSC .NET port (http://code.google.com/p/tf-net/wiki/TfNet2Preview), all of it based on VS premises. Still, without proper VS IDE support it's close to impossible. BTW, there's a neat MG code sample named Scribble by Dennis Jonio (http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/CodeSamples/ASP.Net/ScribbleApp) involving a short guide to IKVM.NET (http://www.ikvm.net/). IKVM represents: - A Java Virtual Machine implemented in .NET - A .NET implementation of the Java class libraries - Tools that enable Java and .NET interoperability -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carl Jokl Sent: Monday, September 08, 2008 14:33 To: mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: RE: [mapguide-users] How to use Java (JSP) development with IIS Maksim Sestic wrote: > > > Carl > > .NET did include J#, actually - VS2005 shipped with J# support. > However, as far as I know, VS2008 doesn't ship with J# support.

I was just saying that "Java" in .Net compiles down to CLI bytecode which is not compatible with a Java Virtual Machine. In that sense I don't call it "Real" Java in that it is not Java bytecode running on a Java Virtual Machine. I must say from the original post that it is still not completely clear what is desired. You can't run Java bytecode in IIS because it is not intended to work with it. I don't know how much Java experience inspiron2 has. It would help in terms of how I would answer. The original post mentions not wanting to use .Net in which case that would rule out J#. Tomcat is also mentioned. Tomcat is a self contained Servlet Container that can act as a full blown web server running independently of IIS. Tomcat will however run on port 8080. This can be changed to make it run on port 80 assuming the computer Tomcat is running on does not run any other web server. I am not sure for the reason for wanting to use IIS unless this Java web application is to be integrated with an existing website which runs on IIS. If that is the case it is going to be tough because Tomcat and IIS are not designed to work together having come from two polorized competing platforms. Some interoperability is possible but it is not going to be easy. It would be a matter of one redirecting or pointing to content on the other and also they can't both be running on Port 80. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/How-to-use-Java-%28JSP%29-development-with-IIS-tp950716 p1057926.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3424 (20080907) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3424 (20080907) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
