Chapter 4
Page 53, redundancy in third and fourth paragraphs:
(thanks to David Kornbau)
The third and fourth paragraphs are saying almost the same thing. Both paragraphs should be replaced with the following:
"JDBC is a Java API for database connectivity. It enables you to execute SQL statements on relational databases throughout a network without regard for the vendor of the database. Therefore, it is not necessary to develop separate programs to access databases from different vendors. In this chapter you'll learn about JDBC and proxy servers."

(thanks to David Kornbau)
The statement "this.start();" should be outside the bracket.

DESCRIPTION
Maybe you've seen some books on Java RMI, others on Java and CORBA and still others on mobile agents. Finally, here's one book that covers ALL the popular approaches for developing distributed applications. What's more, the author makes it easy to compare them by using the same set of examples throughout the book.
If you're a developer or systems architect who wants to start building industrial-strength distributed applications in Java, then Distributed Programming with Java is for you!
Inside, you'll find:
- An overview of internetworking (TCP/IP, UDP/IP)
- A comprehensive tutorial on distributed programming
- How to implement real-world protocols such as SMTP and HTTP
- RMI in detail; writing factories and implementing callbacks
- How to use Java security APIs to sign objects over sockets
- Using Voyager to write mobile agent applications
- How to use caffeine to develop CORBA/Java applications without IDL
WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK...
"The coverage is reasonable and fairly extensive…If you're looking for a high-level overview of distributed programming, this book is a reasonable investment. There's a lot of good material in these pages."
--Claude Duguay, DevX.com
"If you are new to distributed application development, the book offers a nice start into the area, with a good introduction to Mobile Agents and Voyager not frequently described anywhere."
--John Zukowski, About.com
WHAT THE READERS SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK...
"There really wasn't one perfect source online or
elsewhere for all of distributed programming with Java
until this book came along."
--Ceri Moran, IT Director, N-ARY, Ltd.
"It's a GOOD book; I have learned a great deal from it
and I recommend it to colleagues."
--Michael Katchabaw, Sessional Lecturer, University of Western Ontario
"Very informative on mobile agents and Voyager ... I
recommend it as a starter book on this topic."
--Bruce Arbuckle, IT Consultant, Hewlett-Packard Company
