How to
Write WAI Services in Java
The Web Application Interface (WAI) is Netscape's second attempt at
designing a more efficient alternative to CGI. WAI is based on CORBA and
is therefore inherently distributed and language-neutral. In particular,
WAI services can be written in C, C++ and Java. This article explores WAI
programming in Java.
Jini in
Reality
We've heard the hype -- and are struggling to absorb every last buzzword
in the media. Jini is definitely out of the bottle. But let's get
technical and cut out all the vision and P.R. This article will give you
an objective overview of this subjective technology.
Distributed
Object Support in JDK 1.2
With the release of the latest beta of the Java Development Kit, we
revisit RMI and CORBA to see what's new.
Set top boxes:
the real Network Computer?
The combination of Java and the network computing concept may make the set
top box as important as desktop computers in the years to come, or so
argues the author.
JavaSpaces: An
Object-sharing Framework That May Redefine Distributed Computing
This could be the ubiquitous, open, distributed framework that binds data
objects and executable components seamlessly to applications.
Best Practices
in Distributed Object Application Development: RMI, CORBA and
DCOM
Part 1 of 4:
The recent move toward distributed object technologies from large
main-frame applications reflects major advantages offered by various
implementations of RMI, CORBA and DCOM.
Best Practices
in Distributed Object Application Development: The Java-RMI
Solution
Part 2 of 4:
Among the alternatives for distributed object development, the Java-RMI
(Remote Method Invocation) solution is the easiest to deploy. Its
benefits, though, are tempered by deficient multi-language support.

Solution
Part 3 of 4:
The third installment in this continuing series looks at the advantages
and disadvantages of a CORBA-based solution.

in Distributed Object Application Development: The DCOM Solution
Part 4 of 4:
Can Microsoft save the day? For the final chapter of this series, the
software giant's DCOM system is examined.
