"The InfoBus is a small Java API which allows JavaBeans or cooperating applets on a Web page to communicate data to one another. The technology standardizes the way in which applets and JavaBeans communicate within a Java Virtual Machine. The InfoBus is a small specification, with only 30 method calls. The implementation presently takes up just over 4K."
~extract is from The Lotus eSuite InfoBus Defined.
As the InfoBus API is 100% Java to use the facilities it
provides you only have to include the relevent .jar
file in your CLASSPATH. The InfoBus is installed
in the java home directory /home/java, so the
following line should enable the InfoBus API.
export
CLASSPATH=/home/java/extensions/infobus/infobus.jar:$CLASSPATH
InfoBus should only be used with java 1.2 as the Collection classes are required for its use.
