Book Description

This book presents a practical programming guide to Mobile Objects. It not only discusses the concepts behind them but also demonstrates how they work with the leading technologies of the day, including CORBA, COM and DCOM, and Java. Fifteen design patterns in Mobile Objects are also provided. Includes CD-ROM with... * All Java and Design Patterns code. * Trial versions of Visibroker for Java, HORB, T-Bone, and Voyager.

2 out of 5 stars I had never seen so many mistakes in a single book   May 16, 2001
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this book because of the chapter talking about Voyager. However, reading the book from cover to cover, I found many mistakes:

- classes extending interface (instead of implementing) see pages 42, 168, 379

- methods without return value; see pages 43, 62

- code with compiler errors; see page 121

- utilization of non-existing classes (see page 180: Invite)

- Instantiation of abstract class (see page 200)

- Unfinished code (see page 203, catch without type)

- declaration of throws exception when those exceptions are never thrown (page 239)

- error in the program logic (see page 285, where anExtension.actions should be used instead of anExtension.bundles)

- strings not closed (see page 381).

I reported these problems to the author and received no response. So, if you want to buy this book, forget about the code, because it won't compile...


3 out of 5 stars Mobile objects aren't mobile agents   June 7, 1999
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I'm glad you've made the distinction between mobile objects and mobile agents; I've long held the belief that a "mobile agent" is just a mobile object with some fuzzy logic/AI behind it. I find much more exciting ideas in mobile objects than I do in mobile agents. :)


3 out of 5 stars DARPA uses mobile objects   June 7, 1999
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

Hey - I'm reading your book! I'm working on a small DARPA research project in which we want to demonstrate that mobile objects will work between disparate projects with a little work.(I dindn't know that they were called mobile objects, but it seems like a good name) . I'm just getting started with the book, but it seems to cover pretty much what we need.


3 out of 5 stars Totally outstanding   June 7, 1999
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I purchased your book "Progr. Mobile Objects with Java" and find it totally outstanding. I like it so much that I borrowed your Chapter 8, "Building a Dynamic Upgradable Text Editor" for my Software Engineering class term project at DePaul Univ.)


3 out of 5 stars a really nice introduction   June 7, 1999

Looks like a really nice introduction to the area! I'm glad we have a good book like this. Nice to see "Sea of Objects" end up in print, too :-)
