Publisher's Synopsis
Why Java is the language for building Internet and networked applications. Advanced Java Networking is the up-to-the-minute, insider's guide to Java's fast-growing set of networking alternatives. Sun Microsystems Software Engineer Prashant Sridharan shows how Java has been designed to optimize networked applications, covering architectural elements such as multithreading, serialization, and I/O. Then, step by step, he demonstrates how to create networked Java applications for client/server computing on the Internet, using each Java networking API. Compare the architectural and syntactical decisions associated with each alternative, as you learn how to: Create quick, easy client/server applications with Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI). Use Java Interface Definition Language IDL to create CORBA applications that communicate with legacy systems. Use JDBC to build Java front ends that access corporate databases via SQL. Advanced Java Networking provides new insight into the next generation of Java networking tools, including both Sun and third-party technologies. Discover how you can: Use Java Web Server servlets to create dynamic Web content.;Use Java Beans to build applications with plug-and-play software modules. Use the Java Management API to create objects that can be centrally managed. Use JavaOS, Java microprocessors and inexpensive network computers to distribute Java applications everywhere, at extraordinarily low cost. On the CD-ROM, you'll find all sample code and the complete JDK 1.1. Advanced Java Networking' is an essential resource for all Java software developers and engineers-and for every manager considering Java for networked applications.
