Summary: Great book but code breaks on two machines
Comment: This is a great book for learning JINI Technology. Also, the
author has a great web site to help you along. It's one of the
few books that has example code that mostly works. He simulates
a multi machine environment on one computer. However, his
example code breaks when you run the server-side code on one
Window 2000 computer and the client-side code on another
Window 2000 system (unfortunately, his book or web site
doesn't help you here and this would be the real world
environment for JINI Technology).

Summary: Best and most comprehensive JINI Book
Comment: As a distributed computing evangelist, I found this book the most complete reference with live and clean examples.
This book also has tons of sample code and assures that the reader understands JINI concepts - as a developer.
The book is ofcourse suitable for developers who are conversant and comfortable with atleast intermediate Java concepts and have a basic network knowledge.
I would further say that the book covers both specs and implementation and has helped our research facilities with considerable exposure to the subject and we have included it in out Advanced and Distributed Java Computing curriculum.

Summary: Too big for a reference, but generally well structured
Comment: At just over 6cm (2.5 inches), it's a thick, heavy, book and the spine bends alarmingly as you read it. Despite this it's surprisingly readable, but I wouldn't want to carry it about with me.
This book covers Jini 1.1, and takes great pains to spell out everything you need to do compile and run the examples, as well as listing the code. It's comforting to see complete command lines for Windows and Unix in every case. There are code listings for all of the major areas and a couple of non-trivial worked examples but for a book this size there is not a lot of code. A working knowledge of Java and at least a passing acquaintance with RMI is assumed, but you don't need to know any Jini.
Most of the book is given over to a detailed discussion of the standard Jini services, and how to use them. Each service is covered at two levels - using the basic APIs and using Sun's supplied utility classes. There is also a lot of discussion of the complexities inherent in distributed systems, and how to use Jini to build robust, scalable "self-healing" networks. Scattered through the text are "Core Notes" which offer more detail or different perspectives on the material, and these are always interesting.
Too big for a reference, but a detailed and well-structured book to get you up to speed on Jini quickly and efficiently.
