JNBridgePro 2.1, the latest release of the Java/.NET interoperability tool for software developers by JNBridge LLC, provides an in-process shared-memory communications channel that greatly speeds the interaction between JavaTM technology and .NET when bridging applications that run on the same machine.

The tool enables software developers to pass or access any object and access any instance or static member across the platform boundary. JNBridgePro enables .NET to communicate with JavaTM 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SETM platform) or JavaTM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EETM platform), including J2EE facilities such as Enterprise JavaBeansTM (EJBTM) specification, JavaTM Message Service (JMS) API and Java Naming and Directory InterfaceTM (JNDI) API, and supports all the leading J2EE application servers.

The shared-memory communications channel in version 2.1 allows both the Java and .NET sides to run in the same process, which results in a significant performance improvement, as the overheads associated with socket-based communications and inter-process switching costs are eliminated. Shared-memory starts and stops both the .NET and Java sides automatically, so they no longer have to be explicitly managed, making applications easier to develop and deploy. JNBridgePro 2.1 supports a variety of architectures that span in-process, cross-process, intranet or internet communications with just configuration changes, and without having to change the underlying code.

Version 2.1 also eliminates the need for a special JNBridgePro configuration file -- configuration can be controlled through the application's configuration file or the API -- and has optimized the passing of very large arrays.

Beta testers have reported substantial increases in performance. "I don't know how I lived without the shared memory feature before," said Andrew Sharpe, software architect at Whitehill Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of Document Composition and Format Transformation software. "JNBridge helps us to develop cutting-edge, world-class solutions, and beat our competition to market."
