Although JavaBeans are most commonly associated with visual user-interface components on the client side, they can also provide the infrastructure for distributed applications across the enterprise on the server. Mark Watson's Creating JavaBeans is a short, effective tutorial for quickly learning JavaBeans development for distributed systems. The author clearly introduces the basics of simple beans, including topics such as the Java Developer's Kit (JDK) 1.1 event model. The middle section of the book describes how to create JavaBeans for networked and distributed applications and includes sample beans for database access, a mail client, and a Web search application. Although the content in this section is not exhaustive, the source code is useful. The author finishes the book by directly taking on distributed computing with examples such as code for socket programming in Java (a hard-to-find topic); a bean using Remote Method Invocation (RMI); and a sample using CORBA, the industry-standard component protocol from Unix. This text offers a snapshot of where Java is in the world of distributed applications, a good introduction to JavaBeans, and some useful code. Creating JavaBeans can give more advanced Java developers a jumpstart into an exciting area of systems design where Java is likely to become a key player in the very near future.
Product Description
Focusing on the use of JavaBeans for distributed software applications, this book provides programmers with techniques, examples, and reusable components for intranet, Internet, client/server, and other distributed applications. It develops example software components that function as JavaBeans components, stand-alone Java applications, Java applets, and reusable class libraries. Creating JavaBeans puts you in a "distributed mindset" allowing you to think of multiple, distributed components as a single framework for accomplishing tasks in a distributed environment. It quickly teaches you to write and package Java components and shows you how to use these techniques to build useful example components including:
POP3/SMTP compatible email
a World Wide Web search agent
client/server JavaBeans using the JDBC Database protocol, threads and sockets, and Remote Method Invocation Software on CD-ROM
The accompanying CD-ROM contains all of the example components developed in the book plus the JavaSoft Java Development Kit version 1.1 and the JavaBeans development Kit version 1.0.

Missing concepts November 28, 1997
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
The auther does provide some nice examples of Java Beans - just about half of the book consists of program listings. Unfortunately, he has absolutely no concept whatsoever concerning just WHAT he wants to tell the reader, or HOW he wants to make himself clear. After having read the first fifty pages (called "introduction" by the author), you may well ask yourself one question: "Excuse me? What was this all about?" Do yourself a favor, and read J.Feghhi's grossly mistitled book "Web Developer's Guide to Java Beans" instead - an excellent introduction to beans programming, and a terrific comparison between Beans, DCOM, and CORBA.
