Jini is a networking protocol from Sun that sits on top of Java. It allows devices to interact together without having to worry about drivers, different operating systems or complicated cabling. Devices connect to a network and offer services to other devices. A huge range of devices have the potential to be connected to networks using Jini; anything from computers and printers to televisions and air-conditioners. The idea is to allow devices to interact simply with each other, e.g. your repair-service network can connect directly to your broken refrigerator via the telephone to diagnose the fault. 
JavaSpaces is a related technology, built to show a practical application of Jini. A JavaSpace is a really simple interface which allows remote systems to collaborate via what is essentially a notice board. Java programs place objects, examine objects, or take objects away from this board. They can also ask to be notified when the object they're looking for appears on the board. As an example, a word-processor application could place a fax job on the notice board, which a fax application would find and perform as and when it was free. The two applications don't need to know anything about each other's location, only what objects they handle. 
Professional Jini Programming presents in one single volume everything that an advanced Java programmer will need to start designing and programming with Jini or JavaSpaces technology.

Java is a powerful and fast maturing development platform used to create client/server applications on any platform. XML is the most recent markup language, a standard format for the universal sharing of data and an intrinsic part of all major development both on the Web, and in the wider business community. Enterprise web applications are increasingly combining Java and XML technologies to provide more efficient ways to integrate Internet presence with business systems in the world of e-commerce. 
This core professional compendium breaks down into three main sections. The first presents the basic XML standards, Java APIs and programming tools for handling XML. The second part presents a selection of Java techniques which make up the building blocks for XML-based applications. The section is Java-centric, and presents the common scenarios for XML data I/O, building on the basic tools presented in part one. The final and largest section of the book shows how XML applications can be built on top of the techniques shown in part two, and demonstrates how XML can be used to solve real programming problems. 
If you want a hefty box of XML manipulation tools at your disposal and would like to discover how the language could be used in your Java applications, then this book is for you.

The increasing popularity of the Internet has resulted in the majority of today's programming tasks and applications involving some form of networking. Almost every programming language provides some networking facilities. However, unlike other programming languages, Java had support for network programming built into it right from the start. Java, therefore, allows you to develop powerful network applications with exceptional ease. This book introduces you to the world of Java network programming and takes you far inside it. 
 The chapters of this book are grouped in five sections. The first section looks at network basics. Java networking preliminaries are then covered in the following section. The third section explores classes that are provided by Java to handle a variety of network tasks. Java API's that are used for distributed network programming are covered in section four. The fifth and final section investigates new networking features and improvements offered by JDK 1.4. 
 This book covers: 
<li>Networking in JDK 1.3 and 1.4 
</li>
<li>Network Basics 
</li>
<li>Java I/O, Threads 
</li>
<li>Java security model, JCA, JAAS, JCE and JSSE 
</li>
<li>TCP, UDP, Multicasting 
</li>
<li>Java URL handler architecture 
</li>
<li>Serialization, RMI, CORBA 
</li>
<li>Servlets, JavaMail, JMS 
</li>

Java servlets are fast becoming indispensable enterprise components, as they provide a means to build scalable and portable business services that communicate over the Web. This book provides a comprehensive guide to developing applications based on the Java Servlet 2.3 API, a part of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition 1.3. 
The book reveals how and where servlets fit into an enterprise solution, and addresses issues such as security, scalability, performance and design. It walks you through the API covering the role of all the classes and interfaces and provides lots of example applications to demonstrate servlets in action. The book also covers the key role that servlets play in the new web services development model. 
What does this book cover? 
*The servlet container and the services it provides *Creating and deploying web applications in Tomcat *Persisting the state of servlets *Filters and Event Listeners *Security and Container Authentication *Debugging servlets *The effects of classloading and synchronization on the behavior of web applications *Optimizing the performance of web applications *Using servlets as agents with web services

Post Internet era has seen developments in web middleware. Application Servers quickly started Filling the gap. Tomcat is an application server built around the Java technology. It is a JSP and servlet container that can be attached to other popular web servers like Apache and IIS. It can act as a stand-alone web server as well. 
The JSP technology allows web developers to create dynamic web pages using XML-type tags or embedded Java. Servlets are components written in Java that can be invoked by servers. 
This book will provide the readers a complete discussion about Tomcat, its installation, configuration, use, and methods for securing it. This book goes a step further by providing discussion on issues like load balancing, shared hosting, load testing, and a lot more. In addition, readers will find a coverage on database connectivity using Tomcat. Tomcat is an open source web server that processes JavaServer Pages and Java Servlets. It can run as a stand-alone server or be integrated with Apache. Like Apache, the core Tomcat program is relatively simple, but there are many enhancements that can be added that make it much more complex. 
You will learn how to integrate Tomcat with the Apache HTTP server (and the situations when you should and you shouldn't), how to set up database connectivity through JDBC, and how to ensure your web applications are secure. 
It will also cover some of the tools that can be integrated with Tomcat, such as Ant (for automatically building web applications) and Log4J (for advanced logging). 
What does this book cover? 
- Tomcat 3.x, Tomcat 4.0.x, and Tomcat 4.1.x 
- The Tomcat architecture 
- Tomcat installation and configuration 
- Apache and Tomcat integration using the AJP and WARP connectors 
- Tomcat security with SSL, realms, and the Java Security Manager 
- Shared Tomcat hosting, server load testing, and load balancing 
- Managing and administering web applications 
- JDBC with Tomcat 
- Ant and Log4j 
This book will provide you, the server administrator, with the necessary knowledge to install and configure Tomcat, as well as many of the most popular enhancements to the Tomcat package. It will help you plan the installation and possible growth options of your site.
