Create a versatile server-side middleware framework with a set of reusable components.
Jukebox4 is an exceptional collection of reusable components that enable the creation of a flexible middleware framework. With Jukebox4, you can save a significant amount of time that would have been spent on designing, architecting, and coding the same features repeatedly.
This project dates back to 1990 when the first commercial C++ compiler became available. It was a merging of a collection framework in the likeness of Smalltalk and the smart pointer infrastructure, which eliminated the need for pointing. Jukebox4 was first ported to MS Windows in 1992 while the first banking operations division support system was developed on this project's codebase.
The semaphores and multithreading features were added for the first time in 1993. This allowed for the development of countrywide project tracking systems using Jukebox4 as the foundation. By 1994, Jukebox4 had been successfully ported to OS/2, enabling the complete redesiging of the semaphore model with full multithreading capabilities. This port facilitated the creation of a distributed system relating to securities trading.
Java arrived late in 1995, and most of the collection framework was deemed unnecessary, as was the smart pointer framework, and a significant part of the semaphore and multithreading code. In 1996, Jukebox4 was ported into Java after a thorough redesign that had been overdue. This paved the way for the creation of yet another distributed system that relied on Jukebox4 as its foundation.
In 1998, the Apache JServ team hired the creator of Jukebox4, who subsequently integrated his logging infrastructure into JServ. Consequently, he earned the nickname "Captain Log." He became aware that his attempt to create a "multiprotocol distributed framework" had been unsuccessful since Sun had more manpower to develop APIs faster.
In 2000, Jukebox4 was chosen to serve as the foundation for a project at American Express. This marked the first time the framework was applied to high-load mission-critical applications, which gave its creator a considerable ego boost. Jukebox4 continued to be utilized in an Open Source project, DIY Zoning, starting in 2001. This never-ending project aims to scale down the framework even further. Though the results are not yet evident, they are eagerly anticipated.
