Publisher's Synopsis
JavaBeans are reusable components for web pages. For example, you could take a spreadsheet from one page and include it on another. Although JavaBeans have greatly reduced the coding time for Java developers, they still have some flaws. One key flaw is that these Beans cannot share or exchange information between each other. In other words, JavaBeans cannot talk to each other. The InfoBus technology designed by Lotus and JavaSoft addresses this flaw and allows separate JavaBeans to share and exchange information across Web pages and networks.;InfoBus technology is already adopted by the major players and is about to become an industry standard for JavaBeans. This text introduces the InfoBus specification and demonstrates how to create enterprise-ready applications with technologies such as: CORBA and COM, RMI, JavaBeans, Dynamic HTML and JDBC. An accompanying CD-ROM provides all the JavaBeans and Java applications.
