Advanced Java Networking (2nd Edition)

Advanced Java Networking, Second Edition - an excellent introduction to sockets, RMI, IDL/CORBA, JDBC, and other APIs - surveys all the ways to create state-of-the-art server-side solutions with Java. If you're a developer or architect, this book can help you build scalable Internet solutions.Advanced Java is notable in at least two ways. First and foremost, it presents each Java networking API with real intelligence and enthusiasm. The authors of the second edition (who have revised the book thoroughly) prove they have considerable teaching experience by including plenty of interesting examples. The same application (for a simple appointment-scheduling program) is used throughout the text. You learn how to use sockets, RMI, IDL/CORBA, and even servlets and JSPs to build different versions of the same application. This comparative approach gives you a sense of the strengths of each API. (A final chapter here outlines when to use each API, depending on your design needs.)Besides hands-on coding examples, several chapters present a high-level introduction to new Java APIs like JINI, naming services, and JNDI, plus EJBs and network management with JMAP. Generally, this book strikes a good balance between explaining the underlying technology behind each Java API, and providing basic sample code to help get you started. While you certainly don't need to use every networking API for every project, this title introduces them all so that you can choose the best approach. The new edition of Advanced Java Networking packages an excellent mix of sample code and technological expertise - of value in choosing the best options for networking on today's Java platform. Annotation Java 2 networking, in-depth: the complete guide for serious developers. JDBC, RMI, Java IDL and CORBA. Breakthrough tools and APIs: Jini, servlets, JMAPI, JNDI, and more. Component models, application servers, architecture, and security. Advanced Java Networking, Second Edition is a complete update to the #1 book on Java networking. The book is designed to help developers choose among Java's wide range of networking facilities -- and then implement networking as quickly and effectively as possible. This new edition includes complete coverage of new Java tools and APIs, including Jini, JMAPI, servlets, and JNDI; plus guidance for Web-enabling any application. Start with a practical review of TCP/IP and Sockets programming; next, master Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) and Remote Method Invocation (RMI). Use the Java IDL to build CORBA-compliant applications; master Java-based component models; and discover new ways to integrate Java with application servers. The book includes detailed chapters on Java security and architecting enterprise applications. The CD-ROM contains JDK2, the JNDI and Servlet APIs, and an evaluation copy of Inprise VisiBroker for Java. Richard Steflik has taught for 20 years at the State University of New York, Binghamton Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering. He has spent five years developing Web applications for Lockheed Martin, and seven years programming for IBM. Prashant Sridharan is Java Evangelist and Software Engineer for Sun Microsystems Market Development Engineering, where he promotes Java in software development, financial services, electronic commerce and education Annotation "Java remains the language of choice for building Internet and networked applications. In this completely updated second edition, Dick Steflik and Prashant Sridharan bring you tips on the hottest new developments in Java and its family of technologies. For seasoned programmers who need to stay current on Java for network applications, this is the book with answers." "Java is the first programming language created with the Internet in mind, and this book shows you how it optimizes networked applications with such architectural elements as multithreading, serialization, and I/O. Step-by-step implementations take you through the creation of Java solutions for client/server and Internet environments, using the latest releases of each API."
