Description
The networking capabilities of the Java platform have been extended considerably since the first edition of the book. This new edition
covers version 1.5-1.7, the most current iterations, as well as making the following improvements:
The API (application programming
interface) reference sections in each chapter, which describe the relevant parts of each class, have been replaced with (i) a summary
section that lists the classes and methods used in the code, and (ii) a ?gotchas? section that mentions nonobvious or poorly-documented
aspects of the objects.
In addition, the book covers several new classes and capabilities introduced in the last few revisions of the
Java platform. New abstractions to be covered include NetworkInterface, InterfaceAddress, Inet4/6Address, SocketAddress/InetSocketAddress,
Executor, and others; extended access to low-level network information; support for IPv6; more complete access to socket options; and
scalable I/O. The example code is also modified to take advantage of new language features such as annotations, enumerations, as well
as generics and implicit iterators where appropriate.
Most Internet applications use sockets to implement network communication protocols.
This book's focused, tutorial-based approach helps the reader master the tasks and techniques essential to virtually all client-server
projects using sockets in Java. Chapter 1 provides a genral overview of networking concepts to allow readers to synchronize the concepts
with terminology. Chapter 2 introduces the mechanics of simple clients and servers. Chapter 3 covers basic message construction and parsing.
Chapter 4 then deals with techniques used to build more robust clients and servers. Chapter 5 (NEW) introduces the scalable interface
facilities which were introduced in Java 1.5, including the buffer and channel abstractions. Chapter 6 discusses the relationship between
the programming constructs and the underlying protocol implementations in more detail. Programming concepts are introduced through simple
program examples accompanied by line-by-line code commentary that describes the purpose of every part of the program. The book's Web
site contains many examples of command-based sockets-related code discussed throughout the book. No other resource presents so concisely
or so effectively the material necessary to get up and running with Java sockets programming.
Audience
Software developers, network programmers, practitioners, and researchers who know Java and want to learn about writing Java networking
applications that use TCP/IP. Students in courses on computer networking, operating systems and distributed computing.
