html developer The task of creating controls, however, is often more difficult than the simplicity of JavaBeans. How does Java stack up to ActiveX? Java stacks up very well indeed! JavaBeans are highly portable, and can run on any platform that has a Java Virtual Machine that is JDK1.1 compliant. ActiveX controls can execute on the Windows platform, and most use Win32 specific calls that would render them unsuitable for automatic porting to other platforms. While ActiveX is now being pushed as an open standard, it will be some time (if ever) before we see truly portable ActiveX controls.
html developer There is also a common misperception amongst developers that JavaBeans can only be used in Java applications, and thus are not integratable with other products, such as Visual Basic and Delphi. This is not so! Any existing JavaBean can be instantly converted into an ActiveX control, through the use of the JavaBeans ActiveX Bridge. The bridge takes an existing JavaBean, and registers it as an ActiveX control that can be used in any ActiveX compatible application or programming language. Not only is the JavaBean architecture portable across platforms, it's portable across other languages! Conclusion JavaBeans have a significant competitive advantage over ActiveX - JavaBeans can be instantly converted into ActiveX controls via the bridge, but ActiveX controls cannot be easily converted into JavaBeans. JavaBeans also offer the security and robustness that developers have come to know and love, whereas ActiveX controls remain dangerous (despite the innovation of digital signatures), as they have low level access to features of the operating system.
html developer JavaBeans used in applets are bound by the same restrictions (file and network access) as their applet hosts, yet ActiveX controls that are signed have a much larger potential to wreak havoc on the system. Coupled with their lack of portability, ActiveX components have a smaller target audience, and there is a perception that they can be dangerous when executed indiscriminately from the web. For the serious component vendor, or application developer, JavaBeans is an important new technology that must be learnt to stay ahead. ActiveX has its place, for now, but with the introduction of the JavaBeans Bridge, it would be prudent to learn the JavaBeans architecture while it remains in its infancy.
