I suppose this is a good time to announce our forthcoming book:
Esmond Pitt and Kathleen McNiff, java.rmi: The Guide to Remote Method
Invocation, Addison Wesley 2001, ISBN 0-201-70043-3, about 350pp
Presently in pre-press; available in about 90 days. AWL promote it as "the
definitive guide to the Java RMI technology": an in-depth exposition of RMI,
covering JDK 1.3 and parts of 1.4, with deep coverage of RMI Semantics,
Serialization, remote interfaces, clients, Unicast servers, Activation,
RMI/IIOP, RMI and the Internet, the RMI Security Extension, Socket Factories,
two chapters on Security, alternate server types, and a lot of discussion of
underlying theory. Clarifies, corrects, and extends the Sun JDK documentation
and RMI Specification, and incorporates a lot of material only otherwise
available in places like this mailing list, as well as original material. The
MS has been enthusiastically reviewed within Sun.
Rickard Oberg's book promises well too. As far as we can tell it is targeted
slightly differently from ours.
