Yesterday, Sun's Greg Bollella and Dave Hofert made the case for real-time Java in enterprise applications where the exact timing of an operation is important. Today, Bollella and Hofert focus on the details of how real-time requirements are achieved in the JVM with the real-time garbage collector, a new feature of Sun's latest real-time Java VM implementation, RT 2.0. They also explain the concept of no-heap real-time threads (NHRT) that are never impacted by the garbage collector.

XML processing has become a common task that many C++ application developers have to deal with. Using low-level XML access APIs such as DOM and SAX is tedious and error-prone, especially for large XML vocabularies. XML Data Binding is a new alternative which automates much of the task by presenting the information stored in XML as a statically-typed, vocabulary-specific object model. This article introduces XML Data Binding and shows how it can simplify XML processing in C++.
