Combining the versatility of Java with the interoperability of CORBA, Java IDL (Interface Definition Language) lets you build object-oriented systems that freely interact over the Internet or intranets, regardless of ORB or programming language. Now Programming with Java IDL offers Java developers a quick, easy way to fully master this important new Web development tool. With this valuable guide, developers learn Java IDL programming by actually building powerful applications using distributed objects. Experts Geoffrey Lewis, Steven Barber, and Ellen Siegel first bring you up to speed on CORBA, Java, and Java IDL basics. They provide you with step-by-step instructions and source code (also available at the companion Web site) to build three full-fledged distributed systems of increasing complexity. Then, combining valuable insider tips with business system programming savvy, they show you how to quickly modify the code to build your own powerful custom applications. A hands-on guide to harnessing the power of Java and CORBA to create super-versatile business applications, Programming with Java IDL is an indispensable working resource for Java developers. Visit the companion Web site at www.wiley.com/compbooks/lewis There you'll find: * All the source code from the book * Updates on latest developments in Java IDL tools and techniques.

"Java Programming with CORBA" - jetzt erscheint der Bestseller in der 3. aktualisierten und erweiterten Auflage. Anerkannte Experten zeigen anhand fortgeschrittener Techniken und Beispielen aus der Praxis, wie man einfache und komplexe Javaprogramme mit CORBA entwirft. Zunächst geben sie einen kurzen Überblick über CORBA, Java, Oject Request Brokers (ORBs) und EJB Komponenten und erläutern dann, wie man diese Technologien einsetzt, um komplette Java-Anwendungen zu entwickeln. Diese Neuauflage wurde um 50% neues Material erweitert, um den Neuerungen der kürzlich erschienenen 3. Version von CORBA Rechnung zu tragen. Topaktuelle Themen, wie z.B. Portabel Object Adaptor (POA), Remote Method Innovation (RMI) over IIOP und EJB werden ausführlich diskutiert. Mit einer Fülle detaillierter Codebeispiele. Der unverzichtbare Leitfaden für jeden Java-Entwickler und -Programmierer.

"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.

The key to mastering cutting-edge Java technologies, and practical design and deployment issues in the business environment.

A comprehensive Java guide, with samples, exercises, case studies, and step-by-step instruction Beginning Java Programming: The Object Oriented Approach is a straightforward resource for getting started with one of the world's most enduringly popular programming languages.

This book is a result of the ISD'99, Eight International Conference on Infonnation Systems Development-Methods and Tools, Theory, and Practice held August 11-13, 1999 in Boise, Idaho, USA. The purpose of this conference was to address the issues facing academia and industry when specifying, developing, managing, and improving infonnation systems. ISD'99 consisted not only of the technical program represented in these Proceedings, but also of plenary sessions on product support and content management systems for the Internet environment, workshop on a new paradigm for successful acquisition of infonnation systems, and a panel discussion on current pedagogical issues in systems analysis and design. The selection of papers for ISD'99 was carried out by the International Program Committee. Papers presented during the conference and printed in this volume have been selected from submissions after fonnal double-blind reviewing process and have been revised by their authors based on the recommendations of reviewers. Papers were judged according to their originality, relevance, and presentation quality. All papers were judged purely on their own merits, independently of other submissions. We would like to thank the authors of papers accepted for ISD'99 who all made gallant efforts to provide us with electronic copies of their manuscripts confonning to common guidelines. We thank them for thoughtfully responding to reviewers comments and carefully preparing their final contributions. We thank Daryl Jones, provost of Boise State University and William Lathen, dean, College of Business and Economics, for their support and encouragement.
