The Jini Vision? Network Anything, Anytime, Anywhere!

Jini is truly revolutionary: it enables any device-from enterprise servers to kitchen appliances-to network smoothly, simply, and reliably. Core Jini delivers the first comprehensive, practical explanation of Jini technology-plus all the live Java code experienced developers need to start building solutions right now!

With a Foreword by Sun Microsystems Java and Jini visionary Bill Joy, Core Jini is 100% authoritative!

  • Discover how Jini addresses critical distributed networking problems ignored by "traditional" technologies-and how it can simplify connectivity in both new devices and existing networks.
  • Master the Jini architectural model, including crucial concepts like discovery, leasing, remote events, and transactions.
  • Learn real-world techniques for developing Jini services and applications; implementing discovery using multicast request and announcement protocols; building lookup services and browsers; and much more.
  • See how to manage lease negotiation and relative time; write lease interfaces; handle delegation; and use Jini's Landlord paradigm.
  • Even discover how to use Jini with JavaSpaces, Sun Microsystems' powerful new technology for high-performance distributed and parallel computing!

Core Series books are written by serious programmers for serious programmers! Every Core Series book:

  • DEMONSTRATES how to write commercial quality code
  • FEATURES dozens of nontrivial programs and examples-no toy code!
  • FOCUSES on the features and functions most important to real developers
  • PROVIDES objective, unbiased coverage of cutting-edge technologies-no hype!

Core Jini delivers:

  • Systematic coverage of the entire Jini API
  • Insightful descriptions of the entire Jini architecture
  • Step-by-step coverage of building a complete, robust Jini service
  • Detailed guidance on Java properties for controlling and tuning Jini services
