Java network programming

"This new edition brings developers up to date with Java's latest features. Once you have started taking advantage of Java's networking APIs, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination." "Java Network Programming, Second Edition, is a complete introduction to developing network programs (both applications and applets), covering everything from networking fundamentals to remote method invocation (RMI). It includes chapters on TCP and UDP sockets, multicasting, content and protocol handlers, and two important new APIs: the Java Secure Socket Extension (an SSL implementation) and JavaMail. It expands coverage of basics like I/O and multithreading. Java Network Programming also covers what you can do without explicitly writing network code: how you can accomplish your goals using URLs, the basic capabilities of applets, and Swing's HTML-processing features." "Whether you're an experienced network programmer or just want to see what's possible, you'll find that Java Network Programming is a complete guide to Java's networking classes."--Jacket.
