Your the man Sing
. After looking at all the JINI books available except the O'Reilly one, I found this book to be best.. . by far!
If you want to learn peer to peer computing, start with this book at page one and read all the way through. . . you will not be dissapointed.
It has everything, great on code. . . it will show you how to code JINI, philosophy, ideas, implementations etc. . .

Sing. . . when are you going to publish again??? You are great!
If you do, I hope its a topic that I need. .

Thanks

Lots of material and code

Chapters on networking and RMI were very useful. I used this book in parallell with other books.

It helped me to understand Jini, though I got a lot of help reading other textbooks in parallell.

Issues on agent techonology were very interesting.

A complete, detailed, well-written book
Li starts out with a section focusing on advanced RMI and CORBA, and how they relate to Jini. Mr. The CORBA section includes examples for building a Java client/server using the ORB that comes with the JDK, as well as using a C client on Linux with the free ORBit ORB. An excellent overview of CORBA for people who have never used it or simply haven't used it with Java.

His writing is detailed, explaining how things are done and why they're done that way; after reading this book you will have an excellent understanding of Jini. For example, the detailed discussion and the several examples on UDP multicast and how it is used in the Discovery protocol was quite fascinating. I found the case study chapters, accounts of real-life applications of Jini and JavaSpaces, to be very interesting to read as well.

Overall, an inforative, highly readable book aimed at advanced developers.
