Java - Civium Wiki

Java is an Object Oriented programming language that works on practically every operating system (and most browsers) that you are ever likely to use.

Java was developed by Sun Microsystems and the definitive resource is http://java.sun.com/.

To write programs using Java to access the Information Commons, you will need the download and install the Civium Java API.

However, if you are not already a dedicated Java programmer, we recommend that you access the Information Commons using Python, for which you'll need the Python API. Python is very easy to get started with, and its command line interpreter enables you to issue step-by-step commands to access and create u-forms.
