Java Interface (JIVE)
Version 1.3.1

JIVE

The Jive Application (JIVE) is the glue which allows Java Applets/Applications to interact with Erlang.

Java and Erlang has Jive packages that hides the socket communication from the programmer. The Java side also contains a number of wrapper classes for each Erlang variable type.

Java Applets/Applications can interact with Erlang i.e.

  • Spawn new Erlang processes.
  • Send messages to and from Erlang processes.
  • Do apply/3 on Erlang functions.

The application will not be supported in the next release (R7) of Erlang/OTP.

The user is recommended to use the Java IDL in the application IC instead of Jive!
