Book Description

This book is a part of The Java Enterprise CD Bookshelf.

Java Distributed Computing discusses how to design and write distributed applications in Java. It covers Java's RMI (Remote Method Invocation) facility and CORBA, but it doesn't stop there; it tells you how to design your own protocols to build message passing systems and discusses how to use Java's security facilities, how to write multithreaded servers, and more. It pays special attention to distributed data systems, collaboration, and applications that have high bandwidth requirements. In the future, distributed computing can only become more important.Java Distributed Computing provides a broad introduction to the problems you'll face and the solutions you'll find as you write distributed computing applications. It covers:

• Introduction to Distributed Computing
• Networking Basics
• Distributed Objects (Overview of CORBA and RMI)
• Threads
• Security
• Message-Passing Systems
• Distributed Data Systems (Databases)
• Bandwidth-Limited Applications
• Collaborative Systems

• Jim Farley is a software engineer, computer scientist, and IT manager. His recent activities have included heading up the engineering group at the Harvard Business School and bringing good things to life at GE's Research and Development center. He's dealt with computing (distributed and otherwise) in lots of different ways, from automated image inspection to temporal reasoning systems. Jim has Bachelor's and Master's degrees in computer systems engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

• The JXTA Book (Brendon J. Wilson)

  This book explores the hottest new paradigm, peer-to-peer (P2P) computing, and use the power of the JXTA platform to transform your applications into peer-aware, collaborative tools.

• JXTA JXSE Programmers Guide 2.5 (The JXTA Project)

  For software developers who would like to write and deploy P2P services and applications using JXTA technology, describes the JXTA network architecture and key concepts, and includes examples and discussion of essential programming constructs using JXTA JXSE.

• Practical JXTA II (Jerome Verstrynge)

  This book is an introduction to JXTA, JXSE and P2P (Peer-to-peer) programming in Java. It teaches the experienced developer all they need to know to be able to play confidently with JXTA. It also teaches NAT traversal in Java.

• JXTA: Java P2P Programming (Daniel Brookshier, et al)

  It starts with the fundamentals of P2P and demonstrates how JXTA fulfills the P2P promise, then covers the essentials of JXTA including the protocols, the JXTA Shell, and groups.

• Foundations of Jini 2 Programming (Jan Newmarch)

  This is the perfect book for any Java programmer interested in learning and applying Jini toward their respective network applications (any Java-enabled device interoperable with another Java-enabled device).

• Jan Newmarch's Guide to JINI Technologies (Jan Newmarch)

  This book helps you o understand Jini, imagine that you could move to a new office across the world or check into any hoteland could simply plug your notebook or Palm directly into the local network.

• TCP/IP Sockets in Java, 2nd Ed: Practical Guide for Programmers

  This book's focused, tutorial-based approach helps the reader master the tasks and techniques essential to virtually all client-server projects using sockets in Java. It also covers several new classes and capabilities in the last few revisions of the Java.
