To access the source and binary files for Artima Software, Inc.'s 1.1 implementation of the Jini Service UI API, which was released under the Sun Community Source License (SCSL), you must visit the Jini ServiceUI API Download page at www.jini.org at the following URL:

The 1.1 source and binaries are not available directly at artima.com because they were released under SCSL. According to the SCSL, you must be a signatory to the SCSL before you can access source and binaries distributed under the SCSL. Given that you must agree to the SCSL before you can log on to jini.org to access the ServiceUI API download page (at the above URL), making everyone go through a page at jini.org fulfills that requirement of the SCSL.

Revision History

• 1.1 - Saturday, June 2, 2005, Released 1.1a with no changes other than changing the license from SCSL to Apache 2.0.
• 1.1 - Tuesday, October 15, 2002, Released 1.1beta4 as 1.1 with no changes.
• 1.1beta4 - Thursday, July 11, 2002, Dropped doPrivileged statements from the UIDescriptor.getUIFactory method.
• 1.1beta3 - Sat, Mar 9, 2002, Made several changes and additions:
  • Narrowed slightly of the contracts of the constructors of UIDescriptor, Locales, UIFactoryTypes, and RequiredPackages. These constructors are now required to copy the contents of the passed Set or Map to an unmodifiable version that has a consistent serialized form across all VMs.
  • Changed the implementation and contract of AccessibleUI.hashcode so that it returns the hashcode of its fully qualified String name, rather than the hashcode of its Class instance.
  • Added UIDescriptorBean to net.jini.lookup.entry, as suggested by the Jini Lookup Attributes Schema specification.
  • Modified the Javadoc of MainUI, AdminUI, and AboutUI to match the semantics given in the specification. Originally (prior to the 1.0 release), these role interfaces defined their role object to be exactly the service item. Ken Arnold requested we say that the service item must be accepted as the role object, which yields more flexibility. Although a service item is required to always work when passed as the role object to factory methods for main, admin, and about UIs, other objects may also work. I made this change back then to the specification, but forgot to change the Javadoc comments. The specification and the Javadoc comments are now in sync.
• 1.1 - Wed, Aug 22, 2001, Fixed two method names in JDialogFactory, which were incorrectly named getDialog in ServiceUI v1.0. The methods are now correctly named getJDialog. Added serialVersionIDs to all classes in the API, to speed up deserialization. Improved JavaDoc comments, including adding missing serial, author, param, throws, and return tags, as well as adding clarifying javadoc text where it seemed helpful. Added flat javadoc documentation to the end of the Service UI API Specification, to make sure the semantics of the API are specified in detail in the specification itself.
• 1.0 - Mon, Apr 24, 2000, Made no changes to the ServiceUI API code other than to replace in each Java source file the copyright notice that allowed experimental, non-commercial use for a temporary period with a notice that indicates the code is released under the Sun Community Source License (SCSL). Installed this new set of source and binaries at. jini.org.
• 0.9.1 - Mon, Mar 6, 2000, In AccessibleUI, Locales, RequiredPackages, and UIFactoryTypes, added equals() and hashCode() methods. In addition, in several places, changed the exception thrown when a null value is passed to a constructor or method from IllegalArgumentException to the more appropriate NullPointerException. The methods which now throw NullPointerException are: UIDescriptor.getUIFactory(), Locales constructor, Locales.isLocaleSupported(), Locales.getFirstSupportedLocale(), RequiredPackages constructor, RequiredPackages.getVersion(), UIFactoryTypes constructor, and UIFactoryTypes.isAssignableTo(). All of these changes are described in the revised javadoc comments.
• 0.9.0 - Tue, Feb 22, 2000, In MainUI, AdminUI, and AboutUI, changed the second sentence in the second paragraph of the each primary javadoc comment for these types, so that the service item with which a main, admin, or about UI is associated must be accepted as the role object, rather than is required as the role object. In UIFactoryTypes, deleted the already commented out isAssignableTo() method that accepted a String. In version 0.9.0, I made no changes to code of the previous version, 0.8.1. The only changes I made were to comments of the previous version.
• 0.8.1 - Wed, Feb 9, 2000, In MainUI, AdminUI, and AboutUI, changed constant role to ROLE. In all factories, changed toolkit to TOOLKIT and typeName to TYPE_NAME. Added the missing String toolkit parameter to a UIDescriptor constructor.
• 0.8.0 - Tue, Feb 8, 2000, First version.
