Foundation Profile

Specification:

• Foundation Profile 1.0 (JSR 46): defines a superset of the CDC 1.0 (JSR 36) specification, based on a subset of J2SE 1.3.1
• Foundation Profile 1.1.2 (JSR 219): an updated specification, based on a subset of J2SE 1.4.2, including a set of security-related optional packages, such as Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS), Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE), and Java Cryptography Extension (JCE)

Reference Implementation:

• FP reference implementation 1.0.2 corresponding to JSR 46
• FP reference implementation 1.1.2 corresponding to JSR 219
• FP reference implementation 1.1.2 with Security Optional Package corresponding to JSR 219

Technology Compatibility Kit: The Foundation Profile TCK can be licensed from Sun to certify an FP implementation (JSR 46 or JSR 219) on a particular platform. For more information about licensing terms, please contact Sun's Java Partner Engineering group.

Optimized Implementation:

• Cutting edge performance: Sun Java Connected Device Configuration HotSpot Implementation
  (CDC HotSpot Implementation) is highly optimized for resource-constrained devices like consumer products and embedded devices, which combines excellent performance and reliability with a low memory footprint to meet the needs of a broad range of product scenarios. Because product designs vary, CDC HotSpot Implementation allows device-friendly tradeoffs between performance and constrained resources. This product achieves best-of-class performance with a modern dynamic compiler and solid reliability for multi-threaded and low-memory conditions. In addition, CDC HotSpot Implementation's portability interfaces enable rapid modification to support new target CPUs and operating systems while maintaining excellent performance.
• Multitasking capabilities: Leveraging the strenghts of CDC HotSpot Implementation
  Sun has been working on enabling support for concurrent applications and reliable termination of applications. The design philosophy behind the soon-to-be-released Sun Java Connected Device Configuration Application Management System (CDC AMS) is illustrated in the CDC AMS white paper.
