-- CORPORATE RELEASE FROM: Prentice Hall PTR --

The Jini's Out of the Bottle!

Prentice Hall PTR presents the first complete guide to Sun's Jini, the year's hottest technology!

Foreword by Bill Joy, Sun Microsystems

Prentice Hall Professional Technical Reference announces Core Jini, the first book that delivers in-depth coverage of 1999's most hotly-anticipated technology: Sun Microsystems' Jini technology!

With Jini, any device -- from appliances to enterprise servers -- will be able to network smoothly, simply, and reliably. Ever since Jini's was revealed in mid-1998, developers and executives worldwide have eagerly awaited the details. But key information needed to develop Jini applications and devices was hidden in Sun's laboratories and a few research labs, including the legendary Xerox PARC. Core Jini breaks the silence, delivering the first detailed, practical explanation of Jini technology -- along with all the hands-on Java code developers need to start building Jini solutions right away.

With a foreword by Bill Joy, the Sun Microsystems visionary behind both Jini and Java -- and a preface by Xerox PARC Chief Technologist Mark Weiser -- Core Jini is totally authoritative. Author W. Keith Edwards, a leading Jini researcher at Xerox PARC, addresses both fundamental Jini concepts and coding. Coverage includes:

How Jini addresses crucial distributed networking problems that CORBA and other "traditional" technologies ignore
The Jini architectural model, including crucial concepts like discovery, leasing, remote events, and transactions
Practical techniques for developing real Jini services and applications
Implementing discovery using multicast request and announcement protocols
Building lookup services and lookup service browsers
Managing lease negotiation and relative time; writing lease interfaces; handling delegation; and using Jini's Landlord Paradigm
Using Jini with JavaSpaces, Sun Microsystems' new technology for high-performance distributed and parallel computing

Core Jini also walks developers step-by-step through constructing a robust Jini printing service. The book includes a complete Jini API reference, and code for a full set of Jini services. With Core Jini, developers can stop waiting -- and start work on their own Jini solutions today.
