The Jini's Out of the Bottle!
Prentice Hall PTR presents the first complete guide to Sun's Jini,
the year's hottest technology!
Foreword by Bill Joy, Sun Microsystems
Prentice Hall Professional Technical Reference announces Core Jini, the
first book that delivers in-depth coverage of 1999's most hotly-anticipated
technology: Sun Microsystems' Jini technology!
With Jini, any device -- from appliances to enterprise servers -- will be
able to network smoothly, simply, and reliably. Ever since Jini's was
revealed in mid-1998, developers and executives worldwide have eagerly
awaited the details. But key information needed to develop Jini applications
and devices was hidden in Sun's laboratories and a few research labs,
including the legendary Xerox PARC. Core Jini breaks the silence, delivering
the first detailed, practical explanation of Jini technology -- along with
all the hands-on Java code developers need to start building Jini solutions
right away.
With a foreword by Bill Joy, the Sun Microsystems visionary behind both Jini
and Java -- and a preface by Xerox PARC Chief Technologist Mark Weiser --
Core Jini is totally authoritative. Author W. Keith Edwards, a leading Jini
researcher at Xerox PARC, addresses both fundamental Jini concepts and
coding. Coverage includes:
- How Jini addresses crucial distributed networking problems that CORBA and
other "traditional" technologies ignore
- The Jini architectural model, including crucial concepts like discovery,
leasing, remote events, and transactions
- Practical techniques for developing real Jini services and applications
- Implementing discovery using multicast request and announcement protocols
- Building lookup services and lookup service browsers
- Managing lease negotiation and relative time; writing lease interfaces;
handling delegation; and using Jini's Landlord Paradigm
- Using Jini with JavaSpaces, Sun Microsystems' new technology for
high-performance distributed and parallel computing

Core Jini also walks developers step-by-step through constructing a robust
Jini printing service. The book includes a complete Jini API reference, and
code for a full set of Jini services. With Core Jini, developers can stop
waiting -- and start work on their own Jini solutions today.
