For example, consider the steps needed to install and configure a new VCR today versus installing a VCR into the Jini technology-enabled home entertainment system of the future. In a traditional home entertainment system today, the consumer must: Plug in the VCR, running cables to TV and other equipment as well as plugging... http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/jini/JiniEvents/ by Simon Roberts and Jon Byous (June 1999) Jini TM technology has become the hot topic for anyone interested in connecting a wide range of information devices to a network. When you plug any Jini technology-enabled device into a network, its services and resources are immediately available. Part of the reason is Jini technology's distributed event mechanisms. This article discusses methods of handling distributed events. An Introduction to Jini Technology Jini technology provides simple... http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/jini/userinterface/ By Bill Venners; Reprinted from JavaWorld (November 1999) This article gives you a glimpse of the Jini TM community in action and looks at what the serviceui project from Jini.org has proposed for a standard way to attach a user interface to a Jini service. Discussing Service UIs on the Jini-users Mailing List My experience with Jini service UIs began back in January, when I posted the following query to the Jini-users mailing list (see Resources) : "Where will a user interface usually... http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/onjava/2002/05/15/911proof.html by Dave Sag 05/15/2002 In the first part of this series, I discussed the technologies underlying an application that could resist the impact of a 767. I called this system Corporate Operating System, or COS. The need for such systems has forced the emergence of many new layers in application development, above and beyond the traditional n-tier structure. We have the Java Virtual Machine layer as a substrata, followed by a Service Container layer, in parallel with a basic set of ensemble... http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/onjava/2002/05/01/911proof.html by Dave Sag 05/01/2002 The events of September 11 were a wake-up call to software developers the world over. Of the many large firms that held critical data or even entire data centers in the World Trade Center towers, few had timely offsite backups in place. One firm even did its offsite backup from Tower 1 into Tower 2, reasoning -- like the people who decided to only insure one tower -- that the chance of both towers vanishing was slim in the extreme. Who would have guessed such a...
