Types of Java Applications

Java is a high-level, robust, object-oriented programming language. There are four main types of applications created using Java: standalone applications, web applications, enterprise applications, and mobile applications. Standalone applications do not require an operating system and include desktop programs. Web applications run on servers and generate dynamic web pages. Enterprise applications are distributed systems used for tasks like banking. Mobile applications are created for phones and tablets using technologies like Android.

Types of Java Applications

Java is a programming language and a platform. Java is a high level, robust, object-


oriented and secure programming language.

Java was developed by Sun Microsystems (which is now the subsidiary of Oracle) in the
year 1995. James Gosling is known as the father of Java. Before Java, its name was Oak.
Since Oak was already a registered company, so James Gosling and his team changed
the Oak name to Java.

Platform: Any hardware or software environment in which a program runs, is known


as a platform. Since Java has a runtime environment (JRE) and API, it is called a
platform.

Application

According to Sun, 3 billion devices run Java. There are many devices where Java is
currently u sed.
Some of them are as follows:

1. Desktop Applications such as acrobat reader, media player, antivirus, etc.


2. Web Applications such as irctc.co.in, javatpoint.com, etc.
3. Enterprise Applications such as banking applications.
4. Mobile
5. Embedded System
6. Smart Card
7. Robotics
8. Games, etc.

Types of Java Applications

There are mainly 4 types of applications that can be created using Java programming:

1) Standalone Application

Standalone applications are also known as desktop applications or window-based


applications. These are traditional software that we need to install on every machine.
Examples of standalone application are Media player, antivirus, etc. AWT and Swing
are used in Java for creating standalone applications.

2) Web Application
An application that runs on the server side and creates a dynamic page is called a web
application. Currently, Servlet, JSP, Struts, Spring, Hibernate, JSF, etc. technologies are
used for creating web applications in Java.

3) Enterprise Application

An application that is distributed in nature, such as banking applications, etc. is called


enterprise application. It has advantages of the high-level security, load balancing, and
clustering. In Java, EJB is used for creating enterprise applications.

4) Mobile Application

An application which is created for mobile devices is called a mobile application.


Currently, Android and Java ME are used for creating mobile applications.

Java Platforms / Editions

There are 4 platforms or editions of Java:

1) Java SE (Java Standard Edition)

It is a Java programming platform. It includes Java programming APIs such as


java.lang, java.io, java.net, java.util, java.sql, java.math etc. It includes core topics like
Object Oriented Programmings, String, Regex, Exception, Inner classes, Multithreading,
I/O Stream, Networking, AWT, Swing, Reflection, Collection, etc.

2) Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition)

It is an enterprise platform which is mainly used to develop web and enterprise


applications. It is built on the top of the Java SE platform. It includes topics like Servlet,
JSP, Web Services, EJB, JPA, etc.

3) Java ME (Java Micro Edition)

It is a micro platform which is mainly used to develop mobile applications.

4) JavaFX

It is used to develop rich internet applications. It uses a light-weight user interface API
(Application programming Interface).

Basics of Java Technology

Java is a high level secured object oriented programming language. Java has
developed by sun micro-systems and latterly hand over to the oracle corporation. Java
is widely used in mobile phones to enterprise servers, computing platforms. Java is
platform independent software that is which can work every platform.

Types of Java Applications

Java applications has to classified into



 Standalone applications
 Web applications
 Enterprise applications
 Mobile applications

Standalone Applications

A program is run by as separate computer process without adding an existing files


process is known as standalone application. And also it does not require operating
systems process. AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) and swing are used to create stand
alone application.

Web Applications

Web application is a client server software application which is run by the client. Web
application includes mail, online retail sales, Wikipedia information’s. Servlet, jsp, jsf
which are used to create web applications.

Enterprise Application

Enterprise application is related to middle ware applications. To enable software


application and hardware systems we are using technologies and services across the
enterprises. So we are calling it as enterprise application. Enterprise applications are
mainly designed for corporate sides such as banking business systems.

Mobile Application

Mobile application is developed for run the mobile phones and tablets.
