Zusammenfassung: | "Ever since I first saw David Gelernter's Linda programming
language almost twenty years ago, I felt that the basic ideas of
Linda could be used to make an important advance in the ease of
distributed and parallel programming. As part of the fruits of
Sun's Jini project, we now have the JavaSpaces technology, a
wonderfully simple platform for developing distributed applications
that takes advantage of the power of the Java programming language.
This important book and its many examples will help you learn about
distributed and parallel programming. I highly recommend it to
students, programmers, and the technically curious." Bill
Joy, Chief Scientist and co-founder, Sun Microsystems,
Inc.JavaSpaces technology, a powerful Jini service from Sun
Microsystems, facilitates building distributed applications for the
Internet and Intranets. The JavaSpaces model involves persistent
object exchange "areas" in which remote processes can coordinate
their actions and exchange data. It provides a necessary
ubiquitous, cross-platform framework for distributed computing,
emerging as a key technology in this expanding field.This book introduces the JavaSpaces architecture, provides a
definitive and comprehensive description of the model, and
demonstrates how to use it to develop distributed computing
applications. The book presents an overview of the JavaSpaces
design and walks you through the basics, demonstrating key features
through examples. Every aspect of JavaSpaces programming is
examined in depth: entries, distributed data structures,
synchronization, communication, application patterns, leases,
distributed events, and transactions.You will find information on such vital topics as:Distributed data structuresSynchronization techniquesLoosely coupled communicationMessage passingChannel data structures for communicationApplication patterns such as replicated worker, command
pattern, and marketplaceLeases and automated lease renewalUsing distributed events with spacesHandling partial failure with distributed transactionsThe official JavaSpaces specification from Sun
MicrosystemsJavaSpaces Principles, Patterns, and Practice also
includes two full-scale applications--one collaborative and the
other parallel--that demonstrate how to put the JavaSpaces model to
work.
