<<bump>>

I'll give you a bump for this topic.

I have been looking for a good book on Java networking. All the books that I have seen seem to have 1999 copyright dates. I know that the RMI spec has changed since then. For example, since the Java 2 SDK implementation of RMI, the new wire protocol made skeleton classes obsolete. RMI uses reflection to make the connection to the remote service object. All the books on RMI and Java networking seem to reference skeleton classes and objects, which are for JDK 1.1 and JDK 1.1 compatible system implementations.

hi there,

here's what I found : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596007213/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=1565922271&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1S61B87NEQ9TASFP8VDY

This book "Java Network Programming, Third Edition" is in its 3rd edition and includes the "NEW I/O"(NIO) package which deals with, among other things, asynchronous I/O as applied to networking and RMI, etc. Any book in its 3rd edition is usually pretty good -- atleast , we can conclude that it has good basics. coming from O'Reilly, we can conclude that this book has decent editing, index, etc.
