Jini, Example by Example (Sun Microsystems Press) Book

With the release of Jini 1.1, Jini technology is rapidly maturing into the world's #1 solution for networking next-generation devices of all kinds. Structured for simplicity and accessibility, this book answers the key questions developers have about Jini -- presenting up-to-the-minute techniques, proven development guidelines, and real code for building reliable, high-performance systems. The authors begin with a high-level introduction to the philosophy and principles of Jini technology, utilizing simple diagrams to explain key concepts such as process and message control. Next, they cover the Jini Framework in greater depth, reviewing the structure of Jini programs and the role of clients, servers, RMI, and Jini Services. This section concludes with a start-to-finish application: a Jini repository browser that gives developers new insight into the workings and potential of Jini systems. In Part III, the authors put Jini to work, walking through several simple examples, demonstrating how to form Jini services by wrapping pre-existing components, and how to leverage advanced JavaSpaces technologies. For all Java developers interested in Sun's Jini technology framework, and for all implementers of next-generation wireless and networked devices.Read More
