Hi:
Can someone on this list recommend a good _advanced_
Java book. I've now moved beyond Bruce Eckel's
"Thinking in Java", which is a good introduction,
but omits many more complex aspects of the language
and libraries.
Particular subjects which I'm interested in, but
which don't seem to be covered in any Java books
I've browsed through so far:
- Advanced serialization issues, such as using
versioned objects. Even Sun's paper about this
is a bit lightweight and doesn't, AFAICS,
talk about ways to handle different versions
of the same object.
- Running untrusted code (or threads?) in secure
sandboxes.
- Object creation (see my earlier posting) and
other low-level JVM issues.
- CORBA and RMI. Eckel's book covers this but only
very briefly.
- Java Beans and EJBs. The papers on Sun's site
about this are a bit mysterious, so I'm looking
for some real world examples.
- Signed objects and the public key authentication
system in Java 2.
Rich.
