Features: Jini Technology Development Guide, comprehensively covering Jini's features and services, detailing the user interface issues of Jini services, and introducing how to convert hardware devices into Jini services. This book is based on the currently most popular online Jini tutorial and has been extensively expanded and refined. The introduction of Jini stems from Sun's goal of making transparent distributed computing a reality. What does this mean? Imagine moving to a new office in another country or staying in a hotel when you plug your laptop or PDA directly into the corresponding network location. Your laptop will be immediately recognized and can access local services without you having to go through a series of complex processes in a foreign environment. The emergence of Jini, which builds on Sun's fundamental Java technology, will make all of this possible. Jini is one of the recently emerged frameworks for building distributed applications. It was created by Sun Microsystems, written in Java, and implements the distribution and organization of applications based on the distributed, object-oriented principles supported by Java. This book covers all Jini concepts and discusses some advanced topics, such as connecting Jini with CORBA systems and using Jini to make hardware devices available on the network, and more. This is a ready-to-use book that allows you to start programming immediately after completing it. It is suitable for programmers and designers with some experience in Java and network programming who want to quickly master Jini.
