Technical Specification

Code packages

Code packages (APIs) are independent licensing units. Each code package can be used with one or more platforms and development tools. Currently the following code packages are available:

• C++
• VCL (Pascal, Delphi)
• Java™ SE/EE (Standard/Enterprise editions)
• Java™ ME (Micro edition)
• ActiveX
• DLL
• .NET

C++ code package

C++ code package contains files necessary to use MsgConnect on Windows 32-bit, Windows Mobile, Linux, QNX, FreeBSD platforms. C++ code is ANSI-compliant and POSIX-compliant so there must be no problems running MsgConnect on other versions of Unix. If you succeed in using MsgConnect on other platforms, please let us know.

Delphi code package

Delphi code package contains files necessary to use MsgConnect in Windows and Linux development. Borland C++ Builder is not officially supported, although it is possible to compile MsgConnect files for this development tool. To use MsgConnect with Borland C++ Builder you can use C++ code package.

Java 2 SE/EE code package

Java 2 SE/EE code package contains files necessary to use MsgConnect with Java 2 platform (Standard and Enterprise editions only).
Java 2 Micro edition (J2ME) is not supported with this code package. To use MsgConnect with J2ME you need to use J2ME code package.

Java 2 ME code package

Java 2 Mobile (formerly Java 2 Micro Edition or J2ME) code package can be used with Java Mobile platform, including Android systems. MIDP 1.0 and MIDP 2.0 are supported.

ActiveX code package

ActiveX code package includes ActiveX controls that can be used on Windows, with any development tool that supports ActiveX.

DLL code package

DLL code package includes dynamically linked library (DLL) that can be used on Windows with any development tool that supports DLL.

.NET code package

.NET code package is designed for .NET development. It is created with C# source code.
This code package can be used with Microsoft .NET runtime (including .NET Compact Framework) and Mono.
