| JavaBeans(tm)Activation Framework 1.1.1 Release Notes |
| |
| Welcome to the JavaBeans(tm) Activation Framework! A great deal of time |
| and effort was put into making this package functional and |
| usable. We are however, realistic in anticipating that there exist |
| scenarios and applications where this implementation could be improved |
| upon. We welcome your feedback in this area to the email address |
| listed below. |
| |
| System Requirements: |
| -------------------- |
| |
| The JavaBeans(tm) Activation Framework (JAF) was developed and tested |
| against Sun's JDK 1.4.2 on the Solaris SPARC platform. JAF is |
| written in Java (with no native code). It will run on any JDK(tm) 1.4 |
| (or newer) compatible virtual machine so don't hesitate to try it and |
| please report failures. |
| |
| Note that JAF is also included in Java SE 6 and later releases. |
| |
| Installation: |
| ------------- |
| |
| There is effectively *no* installation of the JAF. The classes that |
| make up the JAF are contained in the included Java(tm) Archive (JAR) file, |
| "activation.jar". This file can be placed anywhere accessible to the |
| Java virtual machine running on your system. The only requirement is |
| that the activation.jar be included in your system's class path so |
| Java can find the JAF classes. |
| |
