• Connecting Java Applications to InterSystems Products

  Connecting Java Applications to InterSystems Products

  Note:

  This learning path was previously titled Java and InterSystems IRIS.

  Connect your Java applications to InterSystems® products and technologies using your choice of APIs: JDBC, XEP, Hibernate, or the Native API. Interested in connecting to InterSystems products with another language? See these other language-based learning paths.

  

  This path contains six sections. One, Get oriented, 40 minutes. Two, Access relational tables using JDBC, 25 minutes. Three, Use XEP for high-throughput data ingestion, 30 minutes. Four, Harness the low latency capabilities of the native API, 30 minutes. Five, Handle complex data structures with Hibernate, 10 minutes. Six, Build a Java connection, 45 minutes.
