The network is the soul of Java. Java Network Programming describes the java.net package, which contains classes for communications and working with network resources. This book is a complete guide to writing sophisticated network applications, including many kinds of clients and servers.

Java Network Programming is a complete introduction to developing network programs (both applets and applications) using Java, covering everything from networking fundamentals to remote method invocation (RMI). It includes chapters on TCP and UDP sockets, multicasting protocol and content handlers, and servlets, part of the new Server API. Java Network Programming also covers what you can do without explicitly writing network code: how you can accomplish your goals using URLs and the basic capabilities of applets. Whether you're an experienced network programmer, or just want to see what's possible, you'll find that Java Network Programming is a complete guide to Java's networking potential.
