Pointer and shared memory in Java.

[Brian Hoang]

Hi,

I am a senior C++ (Visual C++) developer and software designer. I am currently
doing a research on
Java technology. I have a little knowledge in Java language and I am wondering
if JAVA supports pointers,
dynamic memory allocation and shared memory technologies.

Really appreciate nay helps.

Does Java support pointers? Yes, they're called object references in Java.
Dynamic memory allocation? Yes, that happens automatically when you create
an object. Shared memory technologies? Sorry, I don't know what that
means.

For shared memory tech., look into JavaSpaces at
http://java.sun.com/products/javaspaces/index.html. It allows for the
sharing of objects between JVMs.
