CONNECT/Java®

CONNECT/Java is an interface that allows you to develop custom Java applications which access the S-PLUS engine to perform analyses and generate graphics. CONNECT/Java can be used to develop very flexible and powerful Java-based applications that meet the precise requirements of users within your organization.

S-PLUS® 6includes a local version of CONNECT/Java, allowing Java applications to communicate with S-PLUS on the local machine.

S-PLUS Server extends the CONNECT/Java interface from local to remote Java connectivity by providing a client/server interface. This allows you to develop scalable applications that serve large numbers of users. This connectivity also enables you to build custom distributed applications, such as custom Java clients or web-based applications. Analytic Server provides an example of web-based architecture using Java Servlets as the transactional session manager, which manage incoming requests for analysis from web browser clients and the available S-PLUS sessions. This example can be used as a template for implementing your own web-based application.
