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.
