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:
“There is undoubtedly something religious about it: everyone believes that they are special, that they are chosen, that they have a special relation with fate. Here is the test: you turn over card after card to see in which way that is true. If you can defy the odds, you may be saved. And when you are cleaned out, the last penny gone, you are enlightened at last, free perhaps, exhilarated like an ascetic by the falling away of the material world.”
—Andrei Codrescu (b. 1947)
