Take a break -- have a cup of steaming hot java.
What next?
Once you've caught your breath,
you have several choices of where to go next.
You can go back to the Trail Map
to see all of your choices,
or you can go directly to one of the following related trails:
Putting It All Together:
The BINGO example in this trail is comprised of two programs,
a client and a server, which communicate using RMI.
IDL:
An alternative to RMI:
IDL provides a way for Java programs to communicate with
other programs written in any language that supports CORBA.
Servlets:
Consider implementing your program as a servlet,
if it extends the functionality of a server.
Security in JDK 1.2:
When writing programs that communicate,
you need to understand the security implications.
If you're still using JDK 1.1,
refer to
Security in JDK 1.1 instead.
JDBC Database Access:
This trail shows you how to access a database from Java programs.
Custom Networking:
Describes low-level networking capabilities,
such as sockets and datagrams,
provided by the JDK.
