Gilmour (Belfast N.Ireland) - See all my reviews    Most people learn RMI the hard way, via the JDK documentation and FAQ's. This book is an excellent guide to the subject and a worthwhile purchase for anyone involved in RMI or EJB development. Huge effort has obviously been spent on making the text as clear and readible as possible. My only criticism is that I would have liked more in-depth discussion of how implementations actually work.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

It is very complete, readable and understandable. And it also covers issues such as code mobility across different remote hosts, implementation across firewalls and exception handling. I would suggest this is a book for designers, technical architects or those planning to implement RMI Services in systems and who need to know about the issues involved and the implications for overall design. It is also a good read for programmers prior to writing a single line of code. It is well written, well organised and follows a logical progression building up understanding as the reader progresses. I really do recommend this book.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all 3 customer reviews...		Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
