ILOG CPLEX 11.0 Getting Started > Tutorials > Concert Technology Tutorial for Java Users

This chapter is an introduction to using ILOG CPLEX through ILOG Concert Technology in the Java programming language. It gives you an overview of a typical application program, and highlights procedures for:

ILOG Concert Technology allows your application to call ILOG CPLEX directly, through the Java Native Interface ( JNI). This Java interface supplies a rich means for you to use Java objects to build your optimization model.

The class IloCplex implements the ILOG Concert Technology interface for creating variables and constraints. It also provides functionality for solving Mathematical Programing (MP) problems and accessing solution information.
