YAJSW

There are various programming tricks which can be used to make the source code more efficient, but it all depends on the complexity of the target program and, of course, the developer’s programming skill. For instance, YAJSW comes as a Java service wrapper to enhance functionality of code and programs.

Using a wrapper in application has a number of advantages. For starters, a second subroutine can be called, or even a system call with little or no additional computation. This goes well for programming convenience, allowing the target program to handle system resources more efficiently, adapting class and object interfaces, code testing, as well as simulating multiple inheritance of base classes.

Needless to say that the target computer needs to be equipped with Java Runtime Environment. It’s possible to wrap nearly any native executable, Java process, or groovy scripts to be run as a Windows service. Since it runs on Java, it’s platform-independent.

The wrapper can be embedded within Java applications, and have it read from process output, or write to input. In case the target program needs to be delivered through the Java download manager, this can be done through JNLP configuration. Clever handling of code and groovy scripts can enable tray icon support, message tooltips, and more.

Console can be used to one’s advantage, with options to capture output to be logged, and even to trigger scripts on output matching regular expressions. The library is customizable and supports a variety of scripts, aiming to broaden programming capabilities.
