Compare and Contrast the .Net and Java EE Platforms

Question: Describe the Compare and Contrast the .Net and Java EE Platforms. Answer: Introduction Enterprise computing is abbreviated as EC. It is itself a world of computing and manages data in large volumes in the large businesses or enterprises. An enterprise solution provides common business problem domains and hence, gives a shared infrastructure as a solution for the same identified problems within the enterprise. (van Sinderen and Almeida, 2011) The solution is provided by the shared infrastructure as the enterprise deals with the commonly occurred problems within an enterprise or an association and the concept of the problems remains constant throughout. Some of the technologies are even available in the IT sector which helps to overcome with this problem. This can be done by Java. J2EE provides the various specifications about the concept of enterprise application. This provides various packages for various applications like, web applications, applets, client applications and much more. In case of enterprise computing, Java is the only programming language which is wides pread and helps to develop the system which can cater the needs of the organization. In this report, the two most commonly used platforms are compared and contrasted. Various pros and cons for the platforms are mentioned in the report. The report even gives answer to the questions like: Benefits of software modeling Runtime frameworks of .NET and Java EE platform Integration of enterprise application Advantages and disadvantages of the two platforms Which platform is suitable for the business Impacts of both the platforms over an enterprise and much more. Software Modeling Layered architecture is considered as a design of modules of different problems or tasks faced by the organization. (C-sharpcorner.com, 2016) There can be various advantages for the layered model: Layers can be reused Standardization can be supported Local dependencies can be kept Exchange can be done The above mentioned benefits of a layered model of architecture proved useful for the various aspects of the enterprise. (Venkataspinterview.blogspot.in, 2016) In the two platforms the layered architecture can be: Layer model in .NET: .NET is a programming language which proves to be a buzz in the industry as it is a web based application or a desktop based application. It basically contains the three layers which can be named as:(Codeproject.com, 2016) UI or Presentation Layer: This contains different forms where the information can be displayed to the user and the inputs can be taken from the user in order to gather the data from the various users of the organization. BAL or Business Access Layer: This layer has the business logics, calculations and the various validations required in the business for the various needs of the organization with respect to the database of the organization. DAL or Data Access Layer: This is the layer which helps to connect with the data and performs the action required by the database of the organization. The numerous actions performed by the data can be: returning the data, manipulating the data, inserting the data, updating the data and much more actions can be performed over a set of database. Layer Model in Java EE: Java is an open source programming language which is used to develop mobile based applications.("Multilayered architecture (1) Introduction", 2016) It has high security and easy to understand and use. It is a platform independent language and is more reliable and flexible. It consists of various layers which are: Presentation Layer or User Interface Layer : This layer is the Business or Service Layer Data Access Layer Database Layer Component Model is the model of software model which helps in separation of the various concerns of the organization. This model is basically for the development and deployment of the entries model. In this report, we need to describe the various components of the two commonly used programming languages i.e. .Net and Java EE. Component model of Java EE: There can be various tiers or components which are required and used by the Java at the time of developing the software. There can be components involved in Java EE:(Pawlan, 2016) Client Tier Component: It consists of the various applications which is at the client side or the system which is at the client side or the dynamic pages of the application. Web Tier Component: It is the application unit of the application. There can be various components which are being used by the organization Business Tier Component: It consists of the system components which may affect the working of the application of the enterprise. Enterprise Information System: It is the system which has the working of the organization and the database over one system. It consists of the database of the system with the complete system in an organized way. Component based model of .NET: .Net is a programming language which is the most secured language and this language is not open source. ("What is Component Based Architecture in Enterprise Application Deve...", 2016) This language was developed in order to improve some drawbacks which were available in the component based model and they even wanted to maintain some of the concepts which were already present in the COM. In ASP.NET there is a code for the assembly which contains specially the logical DLL in the aspect of the enterprise application. Assembly has the capability to have both EXE as well as DLLs within the enterprise. Framework At Runtime Runtime frameworks can be anything as it is simply an abstraction of the code commonly used for the code occurred generically. The framework works as a library which contains several codes for the functionality of the codes or errors which can be used by the programmer again when required. The framework is used to enhance the feature of reusability of the code of the organization. The two platforms have the framework which is being used at the run time are: Framework in Java: In java, there is an environment on which the java runs is known as the runtime environment of the programming language. ("What is Java Runtime Environment (JRE)? - Definition from WhatIs.com", 2016) The java uses the runtime environment is known as JVM or Java Virtual Machine or JRE or Java Runtime Environment. It is software which is required by java to run the code over the platform. It includes the various implementations of the library class and hence they must know the trademark of the organization. JRE plays a vital role in the development of the applications. JRE is a tool as it is a platform independent language so it can be used by the organization. The JVM is a machine which was released by the Oracle organization. It consists of standard tools for the configuration of certain libraries. It has some of the organizations who have to be there within the organization. This provides high security to the organization and lets the people have the secured organ ization. The JRE are the platforms where the platform is used by the organization. Framework in .NET: .NET is the programming language which helps in making the language more secure and lessens the minimum set of requirements of the organization. There is the requirement of the set of minimum libraries of the enterprise.("Components of .Net Framework, CLR, CTS, CLS, Base Class Library", 2016)These requirements are known as the .NET Common Language Specifications or CLS. There can be two frameworks namely Common Language Runtime and the Class Library. Class Library: It is present in the framework classes which are prewritten in nature and are used to develop the components and applications on the Windows platform. Common Language Runtime or CLR: It is the most important framework which is used by the programmer at the run time of the program. There is a managed code in the system which is under the CLR. It manages the code and hence requires certain verification to use the code and the process of garbage collection even takes place in the system and the application related to the enterprise system. Some of the common features of the enterprise are: Common Type System: There are some of the declarations which describes the way the database can be managed by the organization or the cross section of the type of the organization. Common Language Specification or CLS: It defines the main role to support the language of the organization. It has some inheritance, polymorphism and some other OOPs concept. CIL or the Common Intermediate Language: It has the instructions which can be loading, storage, initialize and calling the methods of the organization. This helps to tell the intermediate instructions of the organizations. There are some of the various operations such as logical, control flow and much more. Assembly: These are considered to be the building blocks of the organization and help to organize the various units of the organization. Meta Data: It is the data which can be used for the description of the namespaces, class, methods and other things associated with the language. Integration Of The Enterprise Application Enterprise Application Integration is abbreviated to EAI is a computing term which is used in the terms of the organization with the help of tools, methods and modernizing and coordination of the computer applications. (MuleSoft, 2014) It combines the applications into co-operating federations of the applications. It has a set of some of the logical integrations of the architecture of the enterprise of the program: Point-to-point integration: EAI has the point to point integration which are easy and can be implemented by the organization which has the capability to implement a good service to the users and help them implement the access of the files of the enterprise. Middleware based integration: It is a middleware architecture service of the enterprise. It helps in organizing the database of the organization. It has the service model which is oriented by the architecture which helps you to add and delete the assets of the organization. Methods of Integration: There can be numerous methods which can be used by the organization for the application. Some of them are: Data level Integration: In order to integrate the data in the various backend stores which can be used and developed by the programmers helps to incorporate the aspects of the organization. User Interface: It has a logic to the code to develop the various aspects of the environment and the organization can use it to make the application user friendly and helps to provide them easy to navigate facility to the clients and the staff of the organization. Application level: It is the best way to integrate the parts of the organization and hence can use it to incorporate the facilities of the organization. Method level integration: It is not commonly used by the enterprise and hence can be used in order to attempt the codes and the errors in the program. There is a need for the organization to interact with the b2b portals of the organization and hence need some of the collaboration with the web based services of the organization and has the ability to use it according to needs for the workflow of the organization. Web based services are need to be used by the organization and hence cannot be used by the people who has to be used and gained by the B2B business for the organizations of the system. Collaboration with the B2B applications can be done by the people who use it for the organization to take the solved issue or the unsolved issues of the organization. This is very useful for the people to help in organizing the aspects of the data within the enterprise. There can be some systems which may be connected by the legacy of the system which may help to understand the need of the organization and can prove to be useful for the people of the system and help them to enhance the quality of the organization. Comparison Between The Platforms Here there are some of the differences which needs to be considered by the programmers and the startups to keep in mind: (Adam-bien.com, 2016) Java EE ASP.NET Need different vendors You can get everything from one vendor. Better OR support Popular language Best practices since a decade Portable Platform Independent Security is bit low as compared to .NET Needs single line of code Needs a specific library Open source Not that good Not that popular Not that much in practice Not portable Not platform Independent Security is high Needs multiple line of code Does not need a specific library Not open source Some of the pros and cons of the two platforms are: JAVA advantages and disadvantages Ease of use: It is easy to use compared to the other languages. Integration with the platform: It has the capability to integrate with the platform. Layered architecture: JAVA has a layered architecture which makes its programming better and easier. (Education.oracle.com, 2016) Stability and quality of coding: This language is stable and can be used by the people in providing good quality work. Open source and standards: It is the open source of the operating system. Large and complicated Complex to understand Costly solution Poor mapping NET Advantages and disadvantages: (Cio.umich.edu, 2016) Security is enhanced Memory management is automatic Supports object oriented programming language Multi language Project development is rapid Application is simplified in the case This language has the object perspective of the organization. Dependency is the major disadvantage of the language Committed for the beans of the languages of the organization. Conclusion Both the platforms plays an important role. According to me, Java is the most suitable language for the business or the startups in this new world. Java is the most secured language and can be used in both mobile applications and the desktop applications which can be used by the startups to use best web services and enhance the growth of the business in the organization. The people can help to use the objectives of the organization and let them feel safe by the people of the organization. In the beginning, we may use some other platforms but as these days web services plays a vital role one must not interrupt in these services. In this report, a comparison between both the platforms is being done and they would like to help the different programmers and let them know how to use and when to use the objectives of the organization. This can be useful by the people of the organization and hence they can use it for the people to get the people of the organization. These platforms are very useful in the IT industry to growth with such a rapid rate within a decade. References WhatIs.com. (2016).
