Javaspaces: Example by Example (Sun Microsystems Press) Book

JavaSpaces technology simplifies distributed computing, providing a shared virtual space where tasks, requests, and information can easily be exchanged in the form of Java objects. JavaSpaces Example by Example is an example-rich introduction to JavaSpaces and its Jini interfaces. Using this book's extensive examples and projects, experienced developers can begin building JavaSpaces applications almost immediately, and quickly master advanced techniques for enhancing security, performance, and scalability. Halter begins by introducing JavaSpaces: their goals, advantages, applications, and current capabilities. He walks you through obtaining, installing, and configuring JavaSpaces, addressing common problems such as authorization configuration and improper codebase settings. Next, he introduces the fundamental concepts of JavaSpaces development, including entries, leasing, events, transactions, and persistence. In Part II, you'll learn essential distributed programming techniques, including data structures that lend themselves to distributed programming; techniques for preventing deadlock; and opportunities to take full advantage of parallelism. Halter demonstrates how to use Java 2 security features to protect widely distributed JavaSpaces applications, and provides in-depth coverage of scalability and availability.Read More
