Overview

"Java Networking Programming, Third Edition, brings you up-to-date with the latest features of Java APIs. This book discusses all the changes and additions to networking in JDK 1.4 and 1.5 (now christened J2SE 5). It covers everything from networking fundamentals to remote method invocation (RMI), including chapters on TCP and UDP sockets, server sockets, URLs and URIs, multicasting, and special-purpose APIs such as JavaMail. This books shows you how to use JSSE to write secure networking applications and explains how to use the NIO APIs to write ultra high-performance servers. And it covers Java's support for network proxies, web cookies, and URL caching." Java Network Programming doesn't just explain the APIs: it shows you how to put them to work. This book is full of examples; it contains thousands of lines of working codes (all of which are available online), implementing fully functional network clients and servers. Whether you want to write a special-purpose web server, a secure online order taker, a simple multicast agent, or even an email client, you'll find code that you can learn from and borrow.

Synopsis

The network is the soul of Java. "Java Network Programming" describes the java.net package, which contains classes for communications and working with network resources. This book is a complete guide to writing sophisticated network applications, including many kinds of clients and servers.
