LEARN TO USE JAVA MESSAGING SOFTWARE IN YOUR DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS!

As software becomes more complex, and the Web is leveraged further, the need for messaging software continues to grow. Virtually all software written today requires at least one form of internal, and even external, communication. Java Messaging explores the various methods of intra-process and inter-process messaging for Java software, such as JavaBean events, JMS, JAX-RPC, JAXM, SOAP, and Web Services. Programmers will learn the basics of these APIs, as well as how, when, and why to use each one, including how to use them in combination, such as combining SOAP with JMS over a WAN. The book begins by walking the reader through simple intra-process communication using JavaBean events. A set of classes is constructed that extend JavaBean events beyond one JVM, transparently using JMS. The messaging paradigms of JMS are explained thoroughly, including in-depth discussions on the theory and mechanics of message queues. Design patterns and helper classes are also explored, which ultimately combine to form a generic messaging framework that helps programmers avoid common pitfalls. This framework, explained throughout the book, provides for the seamless integration of JMS with SOAP Web Services that is required to build distributed applications. Starting from the first chapter, a comprehensive sample application (an online stock trading system) is built using the framework and messaging paradigms discussed in the book. By the end of the book, programmers will not only understand the various messaging paradigms, but they will also understand how to architect complex distributed applications that use them together – with a framework that provides a running start.

Editorial Review:

Wrox specializes in books written by programmers, for programmers. Professional Java Server Programming, a volume on developing Java-based Web applications, is no different. All the 12 authors are developers and consultants--including some who've been part of Sun's own Java team.

The Web is becoming more and more a way of delivering applications rather than just static Web pages. Java is becoming more and more popular as a tool for building Web applications, thanks to Java servlets and Java Server Pages. Professional Java Server Programming is a big book full of code samples and real-world experience.

Starting with a grounding in Web application development and technologies, the book introduces the various concepts of using Java to deliver Web content--as well as helping to give you the tools you need to work around the limitations of Web servers and Web browsers. You'll also learn how to develop complex database-driven applications--and how to work faster. Since this is a book on the cutting edge of Java development, you'll also find sections on using Java with XML documents and LAP directory servers, as well as Enterprise Java Beans. There's even a good examination of the next generation of Java technologies--Jini and JavaSpaces--with a look at how these can be used in Web applications.

This is a superb and extremely practical book. If you're building Java-based Web server applications, this is a book you need to have next to your terminal, if only for the 300 pages of reference material in the appendices! --Simon Bisson, amazon.co.uk

Editorial Review:

Written for the experienced developer who wants to understand what's next in Java programming, Jini in a Nutshell is an concise and excellent source of information on the latest Jini specification from Sun. Part tutorial and part reference, it's a great way to get a handle on the potential of Jini.

In the near future, Jini devices will be able to attach to networks anywhere, while looking up and "leasing" services (like printing). This standard promises a new era of more flexible network connectivity. This book shows you how to help make this happen. First it delivers an effective tutorial to basic and advanced topics in Jini programming, with plenty of short examples of actual client and server code that shows off RMI, discovery and leasing services, remote events, JavaSpaces, and other necessary features of this powerful--and complicated--new set of APIs from Sun.

The focus on the practical side of development is a strength here. The authors give plenty of hands-on tips, such as installing and running the Jini Starter Kit (JSK). More than most APIs, successful programming with Jini requires knowing the rules of what needs to be done with each class or interface. The authors provide step-by-step guidelines--as well as sample code--for each area of the API. This text concludes with over 100 pages of valuable reference material on every Jini utility, class, and method.

In all, with a mix of well-chosen programming tutorials and compact reference material, Jini in a Nutshell proves that a book doesn't have to be long to be comprehensive. This title will be a useful asset for the Java programmer who wants to learn Jini quickly and thoroughly. --Richard Dragan

Editorial Review:

JavaSpaces Principles, Patterns, and Practice delivers an exciting introduction to the world of distributed, high-performance computing on Java's Jini platform using the new JavaSpaces API. Written for academic and business developers, this guide will help you begin using the Jini platform by outlining its powerful, elegant solutions for distributed computing.

After a foreword by distributed computing pioneer David Gelernter, the book provides a short technology overview describing the makeup of JavaSpaces. The authors atomize their description of JavaSpaces as an overseer application that lets programs running on separate computers store and share persistent data. While the JavaSpaces API is by itself remarkably simple, this book demonstrates with deliberate fanfare the resolution of common distributed computing problems using complex design patterns.

Early sections look at the basics of reading, writing, and searching for data stored in JavaSpaces as well as presenting task and result bags as solutions to managing work done in parallel. The book also elaborates on the readers/writers problem, well-known within the field of computer science, and even offers a means of addressing it. The authors use code samples from a chat message server and a model of a paging system using message channels during their discussion of message passing and communication with JavaSpaces.

One section on distributed patterns presents some common solutions to doing work in parallel, including the Marketplace pattern, illustrated with an e-commerce bidding application. Further sections cover distributed events and transactions as they apply to JavaSpaces. The book closes with two excellent examples, one for a distributed messaging service and another for a brute force attack on encrypted passwords.

With the debut of JavaSpaces, business developers gain access to distributed processing previously available only to academic researchers. The JavaSpaces solution, along with JavaSpaces Principles, Patterns, and Practice, will let any Java developer audition distributed computing for the first time. --Richard Dragan

Editorial Review:

To understand Jini, imagine that you could move to a new office across the world, or check into any hotel—and could simply plug your notebook or Palm directly into the local network. Your device would immediately be recognized, and you would have access to the services at that location—transparently.

Jini is Sun's Java-based technology, with potential to make transparant, "universal plug and play" a reality. This book is an expanded, updated version of the most popular online tutorial for Jini. Author Jan Newmarch includes comprehensive Jini advancements announced at Java One in June 2000. And he includes other important topics, like how Enterprise Java Beans blend in with the Jini framework and how CORBA fits in as well.

Editorial Review:

While Jini promises to be a potential rival to CORBA and DCOM for general distributed development, the focus of Core Jini is on using the technology to connect peripherals to networks via Java.

Traditional problems found in distributed computing--and how Jini overcomes them--are tackled first. After this overview, there is a simple "Hello World" example, as well as a solid guide to setting up and running the Jini tools. Then the book delves into Jini specifics, starting with "discovery" (which allows devices to find Jini services on the fly). The book explains in detail how Jini services advertise themselves using both multicast and unicast protocols.

Jini services are "leased" by clients, and a section on Jini's leasing protocol shows the details from both the server side and client side. All of the requirements for a "well-behaved" Jini service are summarized, along with a complete example for a print service. Core Jini gives the working Java developer all necessary technical information to do this. --Richard Dragan

Topics covered: Jini's standard and custom attributes (and how to use them with JavaBeans), lookup services in Jini (plus connection scenarios), Jini remote events, the JavaSpaces API (for sharing data between distributed processes), and distributed transactions.
