Announcing Mastering RMI This new book will take you into the depths of RMI, and show you how it all really works. The basics are explained, and also how it works on an architectural level. Specific features such as dynamic classloading, custom connection factories and marshalling are discussed in depth and with detailed examples. The book also describes two complete applications. How they work, why they are built the way they are, and what you should think about when building distributed applications. Finally, the book looks at the EJB and Jini technologies that both exist on top of RMI, and which provide value-add for applications that need more than the fundamentals provided by RMI. You will see how these technologies fit into the bigger picture, and what you can use them for. There is also an accompanying CD-ROM with complete examples, including source and easy-to-use build structures (using Ant). Even if you're not interested in RMI, there's quite a few interesting tricks in the source code and build structures that will make this book worth your time and money. The book should be available in all major bookstores, but one convenient way to get it is to pick it up from Amazon.com here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471389404/ Happy reading, Rickard -- Rickard Öberg Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
