"Java P2P Unleashed" provides a single source for Java developers who want to develop P2P systems. The book explains the benefits of each technology and shows how to fit the P2P "pieces" together - both in building new systems and integrating with existing ones. starts with a discussion of the P2P architecture, referencing similarities with existing, familiar systems while previewing several types of P2P applications. It explains how to plan ahead for security, routing, performance and other issues when developing a P2P application. Each technology included in the book - JXTA, Jini, JavaSpaces, J2EE, Web services - is approached from a P2P perspective, focusing on implementation concerns Java developers will face while using them. The last section includes several large-scale examples of different P2P applications - managing content, building communities, integrating services, routing messages, and using intelligent agents to gather information. The final chapter looks ahead to future developments in Java P2P technologies.

This volume offers the experienced Java developer a way into the Web services world. It explains the range of technologies in use and how they relate to Java and shows Java developers how to put them to use to solve real problems.

With the release of WebLogic Server 7.0 in June 2002, BEA positioned WebLogic Server as the premier J2EE Web Services development platform. With the next release in late 2002, WLS will integrate WebLogic Workshop and other key tools to provide developers with a stable, market-leading product designed for the next generation of Java applications based on Web Services on the latest J2EE platform. BEA WebLogic Server is the leading J2EE application server, holding almost 40% of the market share in this competitive category. WebLogic Server Unleashedis designed to be the definitive reference work for the WLS developer, offering an in-depth look at the capabilities provided by WLS 7.X and illustrating the best development practices.

Organized in an instructional style with review questions and projects, this book is based upon the new Java 1.4 platform. Haines uses the most recent examples and information from the technology industry to provide students with sound Java programming skills.

A detailed workbook that includes coverage of the latest specifications for XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as a comprehensive overview of server-side Web programming technologies, this edition was written by a team of experienced Web development practitioners, led by the author of "JavaScript Unleashed" and "Pure JavaScript."

Web Services is no longer the next new idea, but has very much become part of the technology landscape. The Web Services development model involves creating independent application components and making them available for use across the Internet. Before advancing to high-level Web Services implementation, it is essential to understand the basic concept of Web Services. This book examines what Web Services are and how they can work with Java by introducing specifications, APIs, tools and examining industry trends.
