Jakarta Commons Online Bookshelf: Module 3
Handling Protocols with the Net Component
Virkam Goyal

2005 | 34 pages
ISBN:
$4.00 PDF ebook  

DESCRIPTION

The NET component of Jakarta Commons is a feature rich, robust suite of packages that make handling Internet based protocols a breeze. It provides basic access to several of these protocols from a low level abstraction that provides direct access to their inner working. For those who want simple interfaces, this library provides several high level abstractions.

The NET module is a treasure trove of information about all the protocols that are supported by this Jakarta Commons component. There is basic information on protocols like FTP, TFTP, NNTP, SMTP, POP3, Whois, Telnet, Echo, Discard and so on. These protocols are discussed using their RFC as the basis, and simple and clear explanation is provided about them. The NET component’s API is examined to understand how it encapsulates these protocols. Finally, an all-in-one application is created that handles both UDP and TCP based protocols from a single interface. This application shows how to use most of the protocols and exercise their interfaces.
