Chapter 2 Java ProgrammingWhat is Java?Java is a recently developed concurrent, class-based, object oriented programming language that is:
The Java Programming EnvironmentProgramming in Java is supported in Solaris JavaVM by your favorite text editor, make(1S), and by:
(For more information on using make(1S) see the chapter "make Utility" in the Programming Utilities Guide.) The normal Java environment variables are:
Note - The JavaVM tools are installed in /usr/java/bin and symbolic links to each executable are stored in /usr/bin. This means that nothing needs to be added to a user's PATH variable to use the newly installed JavaVM package. Also, all Solaris JavaVM executables default to the path /usr/java/lib/classes.zip to find the standard Java class library. The base Java programming environment provides no debugger. A debugger is included in the optional Java Workshop package. Java ProgramsJava programs are written in two forms: applications and applets. Java applications are run by invoking the Java interpreter from the command line and specifying the file containing the compiled application. Java applets are invoked from a browser. The HTML code interpreted by the browser names a file containing the compiled applet. This causes the browser to invoke the Java interpreter which loads and runs the applet. An ApplicationExample 2-1 is the source of an application that simply displays "Hello World" on stdout. The method accepts arguments in the invocation, but does nothing with them. Example 2-1 A Java Application//
// HelloWorld Application
//
class HelloWorldApp{
public static void main (String args[]) {
System.out.println ("Hello World");
}
}
Note that, like C, the method, or function, to be initially executed is identified as main. The keyword public lets the method be run by anyone; static makes main refer to the class HelloWorldApp and no other instance of the class; void says that main returns nothing; and args[] declares an array of type String. The application is compiled by $ javac HelloWorldApp.java It is run by $ java HelloWorldApp arg1 arg2 ... An AppletExample 2-2 is the source of the applet which is equivalent to the application in Example 2-1. Example 2-2 A Java Applet//
// HelloWorld Applet
//
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.applet.Applet;
public class HelloWorld extends Applet {
public void paint (Graphics g) {
g.drawString ("Hello World", 25, 25);
}
}
In an applet, all referenced classes must be explicitly imported. The keywords public and void mean the same as in the application; extends says that the class HelloWorld inherits from the class Applet. The applet is compiled by $ javac HelloWorld.java The applet is invoked in a browser by HTML code. A minimum HTML page to run the applet is: <title>Test</title> <hr> <applet code="HelloWorld.class" width=100 height=50> </applet> <hr> javald and Relocatable ApplicationsCorrect execution of many Java applications depends on the values of the JAVA_HOME, CLASSPATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables. Because the values of these environment variables are controlled by each individual user, they can be set to arbitrary paths, with either path being unusual. Further, it is common for an application to require an unique value in the CLASSPATH variable. javald(1) is a command that generates wrappers for Java applications. The wrapper can specify the correct paths for any or all of the JAVA_HOME, CLASSPATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables. It does so, with no effect on the user's values of these environment variables. And it overrides the user's values for these environment variables during execution of the Java application. Further, the wrapper ensures that the specified paths are not bound until the Java application is actually executed, which maximizes relocatability of applications. Java Threads on SolarisThe Java programming language requires that multithreaded programs be supported. All java interpreters provide a multithreaded programming environment. Many of these interpreters, however, support only a single processor form of multithreading. Thus, the threads of a Java program, in a conventional Java interpreter executing on a multiprocessor, do not execute fully concurrently; only one thread actually executes at a time. The Solaris Java Virtual Machine interpreter takes full advantage of multiple-processor computing systems. It does this by using the intrinsic Solaris multithread facilities, which allow multiple threads of a single process to be scheduled onto multiple CPUs simultaneously. The result is a substantial increase in the degree of concurrency for a multithreaded Java program when it is run under Solaris JavaVM. Figure 2-1 roughly illustrates how Java threads operate under Solaris JavaVM. A complete description of the operation of Solaris threads is in Multithreaded Programming Guide. Figure 2-1 Java threads on Solaris
Tuning Multithreaded ApplicationsTo take full advantage of Solaris threads, a compute-bound application such as parallelized matrix multiplication, an application must use a native method to call thr_setconcurrency(3T). This insures that sufficient concurrency resources are available to the Java application to fully use multiple processors. This is not necessary for most Java applications and applets. The following code is an example of how to do this. The first element is the Java application, MPtest.java, that will use MPtest_NativeTSetconc(). This application creates 10 threads, each of which displays an identifying line and then loops 10,000,000 times to simulate a compute bound activity. Example 2-3 MPtest.javaimport java.applet.*;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class MPtest {
static native void NativeTSetconc();
static public int THREAD_COUNT = 10;
public static void main (String args[]) {
int i;
// set concurrency on Solaris - sets it to sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN);
NativeTSetconc();
// start threads
client_thread clients[] = new client_thread[ THREAD_COUNT ];
for ( i = 0; i < THREAD_COUNT; ++i ){
clients[i] = new client_thread(i, System.out);
clients[i].start();
}
}
static { System.loadLibrary("NativeThreads"); }
}
}
class client_thread extends Thread {
PrintStream out;
public int LOOP_COUNT = 10000000;
client_thread(int num, PrintStream out){
super( "Client Thread" + Integer.toString( num ) );
this.out = out;
out.println("Thread " + num);
}
public void run () {
for( int i = 0; i < this.LOOP_COUNT ; ++i ) {
;
}
}
}
The second element is the C stub file, MPtest.c, that is generated from MPtest.java by the utility javah(1). Do this by typing % javah -stubs MPtest.java The third element is the C header file, MPtest.h, that is also generated from MPtest.java by the utility javah(1). Do this by typing % javah MPtest.java The fourth element is the C function, NativeThreads.c, which performs the call to the C-library interface. Example 2-4 NativeThreads.c#include <thread.h>
#include <unistd.h>
void MPtest_NativeTSetconc(void *this) {
thr_setconcurrency(sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN));
}
Finally, combining the four files into the Java application, MPtest.class, is most easily done with a make file such as Example 2-5 MPtest make file# Make has to be done in two stages:
# first do "make MPtest"
# Then create NativeThreads.c to incorporate the native call
# to "thr_setconcurrency(sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN))
# and then do "make lib".
# After this, you should be able to run "java MPtest" with
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CLASSPATH set to "."
JH_INC1=/usr/java/include
JH_INC2=/usr/java/include/solaris
CLASSPATH=.; export CLASSPATH
MPtest:
javac MPtest.java
(CLASSPATH=.; export CLASSPATH; javah MPtest)
(CLASSPATH=.; export CLASSPATH; javah -stubs MPtest)
cc -G -I${JH_INC1} -I${JH_INC2} MPtest.c NativeThreads.c \
-o libNativeThreads.so
clean:
rm -rf *.class MPtest.c MPtest.o libNativeThreads.so \
NativeThreads.o *.h
To Do More With JavaThe Java WorkShop is an unbundled package from SunSoft DevPro. JWS is implemented in Java and uses its own Java interpreter. Java WorkShop consists of eight applications. These are Portfolio Manager, Project Manager, Source Editor, Build Manager, Source Browser, Debugger, Applet Tester, and Online Help.
