Preface |
This book provides a specification of the runtime environment (RE) for the Java Card
Platform, Version 3.0.1, Connected Edition. The Connected RE differs from the RE available in the Classic Edition of the Java Card Platform, Version 3.0.1. In this book, “Java Card RE” is used to refer to the RE in the Connected Edition. Furthermore, in this book “Java Card 3 Platform” refers to both versions 3.0 and 3.0.1 to distinguish them from all earlier versions.
This book is targeted for the Connected Edition. The Java Card 3 Platform consists of two editions.
Servlet APIs, and also support for applets with extended and advanced capabilities. An application written for or an implementation of the Connected Edition may use features found in the Classic Edition. Therefore, you will need to use the specifications for both the Classic Edition and the Connected Edition.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", “NOT RECOMMENDED”, "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" when used in uppercase in this specification are to be interpreted as follows:
In the Java Card 3 Platform, Connected Edition, a new virtual machine and a new runtime environment were introduced that support three application models, as opposed to the single application model supported by the Classic Edition and previous releases of the Java Card platform.
For a more detailed introduction to the three application models, see Chapter 2.
In this book, all the chapters and the appendix apply to classic applets, except Chapter 3. However, more information specific solely to classic applets can be found in the classic runtime environment specification, Runtime Environment Specification for the Java Card Platform, v3.0.1, Classic Edition.
In this book, all the chapters and the appendix apply to extended applets, except Chapter 3.
In this book, all the chapters and the appendix apply to web applications, except Chapter 4. However, more information specific to servlets can be found in Java Servlet Specification for the Java Card Platform, v3.0.1, Connected Edition.
To fully use the information in this document, you must have thorough knowledge of the topics discussed in these documents:
Servlet Specification, Version 2.4
