Author's comments
This book covers Java RMI completely, from top to bottom, in a logical sequence aimed at professional programmers and tertiary (college) courses. When I started my first RMI project, there was no book covering the topic to any depth, so I accumulated a paper file on RMI about five inches thick; later I wrote the book I would have wanted to use. It's not 'RMI for Dummies', or 'RMI in 50 pages', nor all known forms of networking and IPC in 1280 pages. There is no 'Hello World!'; none of the customary pageloads of irrelevant code, and no CD with an out-of-date JDK. Instead there are 316 tightly organized pages packed with matter, from the fundamentals of RMI to activation, IIOP, two chapters on security (e.g. SSL) and RMI design patterns: 18 chapters and 4 appendices on RMI, the whole RMI, and nothing but RMI, with 59 short and relevant code examples, 17 diagrams, and a comprehensive Index. Source code, errata, author biographies, and feedback facilities are available from a Web site.
