Overview
"This book collects an astonishing range of Java RMI material,
suitable for any Java programmer regardless of experience with RMI.
The RMI novice will be able to run RMI programs without excessive
hair-pulling; the accomplished RMI programmer will find enough
techniques and explanations to improve the performance, capability,
or aesthetic quality of his or her code; and the RMI expert will be
able to perform great RMI-based hacks without the JDK source code.
If you're looking at this book because I directed you to it on the
RMI-USERS mailing list, then, yes, you've found the right
one!"
--from the foreword by Adrian Colley, RMI team, Sun Microsystems,
Ireland
"Esmond is one of the long-time RMI 'gurus', accumulating a vast
and deep arsenal of practical knowledge in RMI uses, internals,
tricks and techniques. I am amazed he has packed so much in just
under 300 pages. An effective RMI or Jini developer should
absolutely have this reference in his collection."
--Brian Maso; consultant, DevelopMentor instructor, and Java Pro at
