Can java develop an program related to OS kernel,such as IPC,etc.

[walsug]

hello,
I've just finished an program migration from linux system V IPC to Windows Interprocess communication(include other system calls,of course).
Now I have to take effort to re-develop it with JAVA,but it seems that java itself has little to do this,or it has but I don't know.The OS kernel mechanism I used include process,thread,semaphore,mutex,filelock,pipe(or message queue),filemapping(or shared memory),etc.

I would be so grateful if some one could offer me a solution or schema~

thanks in advance

regards,
yogo

Java can do a lot of these things but only because the underlying OS can do it in a more or less portable way. If an OS has a particular feature that cannot be found in any other OS, Java can't do it either.

There have been attempts to write an OS in Java, there even exists a CPU that runs Java byte code directly but Java's target is not really there.

btw, they named that OS after me ;-)

kind regards,

Jos

No wonder it died a miserable death.
