Plain J2SE vs DAE vs AEX

[Former Member]

Hi PI/PO experts,

I was always having some questions on the topic in the title here though I have been working on them and know some use cases of each of them individually, I still wanted to get more insight into this topic which would help me in decision making sometimes.So please can someone explain me two things:

1. Plain J2SE vs DAE vs AEX

2.Is plain J2SE anymore needed having AEX in place now ?

Also I have read on one of the blogs that J2SE has its use in Point of sales scenarios.Please explain.

Thanks much for all your expert answers on this.

Thanks & Regards,

Harish.

Hi,

>>>1. Plain J2SE vs DAE vs AEX

Plain J2SE

small exe files for adapters

DAE = AEX as of 7.3

>>>2.Is plain J2SE anymore needed having AEX in place now ?

no, plain J2SE is still evolving

>>>>Also I have read on one of the blogs that J2SE has its use in Point of sales scenarios.

imagine having 10.000 stores in many countiries for one interface

do you want to have 10.000 communication channels in PI ?

or give each show a nice small exe file with adapter and they can send messages

to one interface ?

Thanks for your prompt reponse Michal but before I close this post I have one more question.

From security perspective, if we use 7.31 AEX we can use SFTP when exchanging data with the stores but how can we achieve the same using J2SE ?

I have not used J2SE before so I really don't know if we can use SFTP in conjunction with J2SE.

I dont think Plain J2SE has SFTP feature to connect SFTP systems.
