This book provides graduate students and practitioners with knowledge of the CORBA standard and practical experience of implementing distributed systems with CORBA's Java mapping. With tested code examples that will run immediately!

For programmers already familiar with Java, this book offers new techniques on how to develop distributed applications. Although it discusses four paradigms--low-level Sockets, Remote Method Invocation, CORBA, and Mobile Agents--this book does not favor any one of these technologies. It also allows the reader to judge the easiest approach for a particular domain of applications.

"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.

Recently with the success of Java and the existence of different interfaces between VRML and Java, it became possible to implement three-dimensional Internet applications on standard VRML browsers (PlugIns) using Java. With the widespread use of VRML browsers, e.g., as part of the Netscape and Internet Explorer standard distributions, everyone connected to the Internet can directly enter a virtual world without installing a new kind of software. The VRML technology offers the basis for new forms of customer service such as interactive three-dimensional product configuration, spare part ordering, or customer training. Also, this technology can be used for CSCW in intranets. The reader should be familiar with programming languages and computers and, in particular, should know Java or at least an object-oriented programming language. The book not only provides and explains source code, which can be used as a starting point for own implementations, but it also describes the fundamental problems and how currently known solutions work. It discusses a variety of different techniques and trade offs. Many illustrations help the reader to understand and memorize the underlying principles.

Market_Desc: · Programmers· Developers· Students in Graduate level Object or Java Courses Special Features: · Authors--Proven track record on this topic, they established themselves as the leaders in this area.· A lot of new technology about Java and CORBA is hitting at the end of 1997--perfect timing for an update of the book. About The Book: The hot topic at this year's JavaOne conference was Java/CORBA programming and JavaBeans. The first edition of this book was the bestseller at the conference. Most of the new tools and products surrounding Java development will be CORBA-based. These tools are expected to ship by year's end. Tools for JavaBeans are also expected to ship by year's end. It's a perfect time to update one of our most successful programming books for these new products.Our authors are in the thick of everyone's development plans for Java and CORBA. JavaSoft and Sun are paying them to consult on JavaBeans, Netscape and Oracle are wining and dining them about their CORBA expertise, Symantec has asked them to consult on the next version of Visual Café, and both IBM and Microsoft are asking for their help on formulating their Java strategy.In addition to their consulting services which gives them the inside scoop, they also run a million $ lab at San Jose State where they are early beta testers on a lot of the tools and products discussed in the book. This inside knowledge will allow them to write the definitive book on programming with Java and CORBA.
