JavaSpaces technology simplifies distributed computing, providing a shared virtual space where tasks, requests, and information can easily be exchanged in the form of Java objects. JavaSpaces Example by Example is an example-rich introduction to JavaSpaces and its Jini interfaces. Using this book's extensive examples and projects, experienced developers can begin building JavaSpaces applications almost immediately, and quickly master advanced techniques for enhancing security, performance, and scalability. Halter begins by introducing JavaSpaces: their goals, advantages, applications, and current capabilities. He walks you through obtaining, installing, and configuring JavaSpaces, addressing common problems such as authorization configuration and improper codebase settings. Next, he introduces the fundamental concepts of JavaSpaces development, including entries, leasing, events, transactions, and persistence. In Part II, you'll learn essential distributed programming techniques, including data structures that lend themselves to distributed programming; techniques for preventing deadlock; and opportunities to take full advantage of parallelism. Halter demonstrates how to use Java 2 security features to protect widely distributed JavaSpaces applications, and provides in-depth coverage of scalability and availability.

The example-rich guide to JavaSpaces technology: building more robust, scalable, and secure distributed applications for working developers!
JavaSpaces technology simplifies distributed computing, by providing a shared virtual space where tasks, requests, and information can easily be exchanged in the form of objects based on Javatm technology. JavaSpaces Example by Example offers an example-rich introduction to JavaSpaces architecture and its Jini network technology-based interfaces. Using this book's extensive examples and projects, experienced developers can begin building applications using the JavaSpaces specification almost immediately—and quickly master advanced techniques for enhancing security, performance, and scalability.
Steven L. Halter begins by introducing JavaSpaces technology: its goals, advantages, applications, and current capabilities. He walks you through obtaining, installing, and configuring JavaSpaces architecture, addressing common problems such as authorization configuration and improper codebase settings. Next, he introduces the fundamental concepts of development, including entries, leasing, events, transactions, and persistence.
You'll learn powerful distributed programming techniques, including the effective use of data structures and collections; and better ways to improve performance, prevent deadlock, and take full advantage of parallelism. Halter provides in-depth coverage of scalability and availability, concluding with detailed guidance on using security features based on Java 2 technology to protect distributed JavaSpaces applications.
Extensive code examples illustrate:
- Leasing and events
- Transactions and persistence
- Jini technology interfaces
- Performance optimization
- Data structures
- Collections
- Preventing deadlock
- Maximizing parallelism
- Distributed application security
- Improving scalability

NO URL or CD for example source code,
By Mike Zheng (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JavaSpaces Example by Example (Paperback)
Pretty good examples. BUT the thing which surprised me is that there is no URL for downloading example source code or CD with the book. Before you can really run the examples in this book, you need click in source code. Can you believe this? What a pity! I would have rated it higher if the URL for downloading code was provided.

JavaSpaces Example by Example,
By Cinaed (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JavaSpaces Example by Example (Paperback)
At first glance, this appears to be a descent book onJavaSpaces. However, on closer examination, you'll find the book riddle with errors and with blante omissions in the example code. But the biggest shortcoming of the book is that there is In short, it's book about examples and but the examples may

Good book for beginner,
By Chiu Wai Chung (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JavaSpaces Example by Example (Paperback)
For a beginner in JavaSpace as me, I think it is a good book. Organization of the topic is good. Examples are in very details and easy learning/ understanding. ....
