Java Intranet Framework (pre-release 1 v0.50)

June 3, 1996

Information

Welcome. This page is devoted to the Java Intranet Framework, or JIF. JIF is a set of classes and a framework for creating Intranet applications in Java.

JIF is the subject of my upcoming book from Sams.Net called Developing Intranet Applications Using Java!

JIF is composed of several packages:

Over the course of the next month, I'm going to release several versions of JIF. I'm hoping some of you will play with it and tell me where there are problems. Those who do will get mentioned in the book!

News

06.03.96 -- Source code zip file fixed.

06.03.96 -- I'm slowing merging the jif.widgets package into the jif.awt package where it belongs.

Documentation

Here's the documentation.

Source Code

Here's the source code. (Sorry about the bad ZIP file I ftp'd it in ASCII mode (DUH!)).

Source Code Installation (Sorry for the cheesy installation doc!)

The source code release was made using WinZip32 on a Windows95 machine. It is possible to unzip the archive with unzip for UNIX. This zip file also includes: mSQL-Java, mSQL-JDBC, and the Cafe project files for all of JIF for you Cafe users.

1. Download the ZIP file.

2. Create a new directory that will house JIF

3. Unzip the ZIP file into the newly created directory. You should get a directory like the following:

This is the UNIX directory listing so your mileage may vary.

4. Add your new directory to your CLASSPATH environment variable, or to the proper CAFE INI file if you are a CAFE user.

5. Enjoy!

Examples This currently will not work unless you've installed JIF on your system.

Check out the JIF widget CalendarPanel!

Check out the JIF widget AwarePanel!

If you download the source code, please drop me a line and I'll add you to my JIF mailing list to keep you informed of any changes and new code. Plus I'd love to get feedback. Anything you give me that I use will get you a mention in the book! ;)
