Java Basics and Platform Overview

The document discusses Java programming basics. It covers features of Java like being object-oriented, distributed, interpreted and robust. It discusses the difference between portability and platform independence, with Java being platform independent due to running on a virtual machine. It also covers how Java is secure due to running inside a virtual machine and having bytecode verification and runtime security checks. Finally, it differentiates the Java Development Kit (JDK), Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and discusses the JVM architecture.

Portability Vs
Platform-Independence

• What is the difference between portability and


platform-independence?

• How Java is Platform-independent?

Ravi Kant Sahu, Asst. Professor @ Lovely Professional University, Punjab (India)
Portability Vs Platform-Independence
 Portability focuses on adaptation of software in
various OS, by recompiling the source to make the
binary compatible with the target OS and not
necessarily modifying the source.

 Platform independence focuses on ability of software


to run on VIRTUAL hardware that in turn interfaces
with the PHYSICAL hardware.

Java Security

• How Java is Secure?

Ravi Kant Sahu, Asst. Professor @ Lovely Professional University, Punjab (India)
Java Security
• Java programs run inside a virtual machine i.e. JVM.

• Java does not support explicit pointer.

• Byte-code verifier checks the code fragments for illegal code


that can violate access right to object.

• It provides [Link] package implements explicit security.

• Run-time security check takes place when we load new code.
