Using Jinterface to Bridge Erlang and Java
As Erlang gains speed we are finding more and more opportunities to
integrate it with legacy systems built on other programming platforms.
A large share of these legacy systems have been written in Java, making
JInterface a valuable tool in the enterprise. This session will present
an in depth look at the Jinterface API and how it bridges the
functional world of Erlang with the object oriented world of Java. This
Erlang session will also highlight the very different approaches to
concurrency offered by the two platforms, with an emphasis on when and
when not to use either.
