Java 2 Platform Unleashed

This complete reference covers all the core APIs of the Java 2 platform as well as secondary topics that experienced Java programmers need to know. The CD-ROM contains Borland JBuilder 2, Kowa tools, and all the applets and code examples from the book.

"Java P2P Unleashed" provides a single source for Java developers who want to develop P2P systems. The book explains the benefits of each technology and shows how to fit the P2P "pieces" together - both in building new systems and integrating with existing ones. starts with a discussion of the P2P architecture, referencing similarities with existing, familiar systems while previewing several types of P2P applications. It explains how to plan ahead for security, routing, performance and other issues when developing a P2P application. Each technology included in the book - JXTA, Jini, JavaSpaces, J2EE, Web services - is approached from a P2P perspective, focusing on implementation concerns Java developers will face while using them. The last section includes several large-scale examples of different P2P applications - managing content, building communities, integrating services, routing messages, and using intelligent agents to gather information. The final chapter looks ahead to future developments in Java P2P technologies.

This book looks at the exciting world of advanced programming concepts with the three major Java platforms - Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) and Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME).

An in-depth tutorial on how to use Java 2 Micro Edition to program handheld devices Although Java is one of the most popular programming languages, it is too powerful to be used on wireless, handheld devices like the Palm Connected Organizer. A miniature version of Java, called Java 2 Micro Edition, has now been created by Sun Microsystems to run specifically on these devices. Written by software developer Eric Giguere, this book provides an authoritative treatment of this new language. Readers will learn what has to be done to make Java workable on these devices and what strategies are required to write programs that don't take up too much memory or run down the device's batteries. The book also provides complete coverage of Java Micro Edition, including the profiles that define the capabilities available to various devices. CD-ROM includes licensed versions of the Java 2 Micro Edition SDK, Waba, and Kaffe. Examples are provided that run on multiple wireless platforms.

Also includes coverage of Microsoft's Java SDK 2.0, -AFC, and RNI products, ActiveX, CORBA, Java IDL, Joe, JavaBeans, and Enterprise JavaBeans. Over 20,000 lines of documented Java code show programmers the details of building sophisticated Java applications.

Extensive coverage is given of all the latest Java add-ons and third-party development tools. Ideal for the intermediate- to expert-level user, this guide explores the new Java extensions and APIs, Java Beans, JavaOS, and other new Java-based technologies. The CD-ROM contains 20 custom Java applications created for this book.

"J2EE Unleashed "presents techniques and examples for building applications based on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition development model. The goal of this book is not to teach the J2EE specification but to illustrate the best practices for developing J2EE applications. It will cover the most commonly used J2EE API's as well as migration techniques that can be used to port a J2EE application from one platform to another. The book will discuss all of these platforms with an emphasis on the SilverStream application server, which is J2EE compliant and certified for Windows and several UNIX platforms. Moreover, the book will illustrate how a J2EE application can interface with most SQL based DBMS platforms including ORACLE, INFORMIX, Microsoft SQL Server 7, SYBASE, IBM DB2 as well as others.
