Java Card 3.0
The version 3.0 of the JavaCard specification (draft released in March 2008) is separated in two editions: the Classic Edition and the Connected Edition.
- The Classic Edition is an evolution of the Java Card Platform Version 2.2.2 and supports traditional card applets on more resource-constrained devices.
- The Connected Edition provides a new virtual machine and an enhanced execution environment with network-oriented features. Applications can be developed as classic card applets requested by APDU commands or as servlets using HTTP to support web-based schemes of communication (HTML, REST, SOAP ...) with the card. The runtime supports volatile objects (garbage collection), multithreading, inter-application communications facilities, persistence, transactions, card management facilities ...)

Famous quotes containing the word card:
“What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
