Overview
What is SNA for Java?
SNA for Java has graduated.
SNA for Java evolved into the product Common Programming Interface for Communications (CPI-C), which is available for AIX, NT, and OS/2. For AIX, SNA for Java is shipped with the product; for NT, it is shipped with the CD; and for OS/2, it is available by download.
It should be noted that CPI-C for Java is not a complete SNA for Java solution; CPI-C for Java is really a client-only API and is not meant to be used in a server-side implementation. The API between SNA for Java and CPI-C for Java has changed, and some features are no longer available.
About the technology author(s)
David Kaminsky completed his PhD in Computer Science at Yale University in 1994. At Yale, he learned that swimming is much more fun than work, and that wet hair quickly freezes in New England winters.
Armed with that knowledge, Dr. Kaminsky graduated and joined IBM in temperate Raleigh, NC, where he continues to swim regularly. When he's not working out, he leads a research team investigating business uses of Java, focusing on enterprise networking issues. Dr. Kaminsky did his undergraduate work at the University of Virginia, but he now lives in Chapel Hill (home of the Atlantic Coast Conference rival UNC) with his wife and two cats.
