From the Back Cover

This programmer's guide is the authoritative reference to Sun Microsystems' revolutionary Jiro™ technology that is bringing higher levels of interoperability and adaptability to network and storage management applications. Complete with the formal specification of the Federated Management Architecture (FMA), this comprehensive resource provides immediate solutions for managing distributed environments while reducing costs and increasing efficiencies.

Authored by Jiro experts (including the specification's lead architect at Sun), The Jiro™ Technology Programmer's Guide and Federated Management Architecture documents every facet of the specification with complete authority. Coverage spans from managing solution architectures (including the FMA) and storage networks to network programming and working with Jini(tm). Complete with detailed instructions, this comprehensive sourcebook provides the tools, tips, and techniques needed to immediately simplify the process of building enterprise management applications.

The key components of Jiro technology are explained, including:
* How Jiro is used in a complex management domain
* Network programming with Jiro
* An overview of Jini technology detailing which components are required knowledge for programming with the Jiro technology
* Internationalization and localization issues with Jiro
* Jiro static services, which include the Log Service, Scheduling Service, Event Service, and Transaction Service
* How to construct FederatedBeans™ for deployment into a dynamic resource management environment
* Patterns and information for building complex dynamic services

All the detailed examples from the book are available at the Jiro technology Web site: jiro. 0201728974B05222001

This book is written to an audience of advanced Java programmers and to management application architects and designers. The Federated Management Architecture (FMA), developed as part of the Java Community Process (JCP), enables component-based construction of management applications. Jiro is an implementation of that architecture along with a set of tools and utilities to aid in the creation of management applications and components that adhere to the FMA.

To introduce the topics of the FMA and Jiro, we have taken the approach of:

Discussing the context and a specific problem space that the FMA can be applied to. Introducing the primary features of the FMA and how Jiro implements those features. This is done through technical sections and code samples with follow-up exercises to expand your hands-on use of the base components in Jiro.

Presenting the entire FMA specification in the second half of the book.

What does it mean to have this book targeted at advanced Java programmers? We would expect that a reader would have considerable knowledge of Java and moderate understanding of many of Java's advanced features, such as RMI, network class loading, and security. Jiro relies heavily on the Jini platform as well as the core understanding of Java. We do present a chapter on Jini basics that will get you through the book, though you will want to follow up reading this book with reading a Jini book if you intend to write advanced Jiro-based management application. Througout the book we have taken care to leave references to other locations to find material to help you with specific topics, as well places where you can gain a broad understanding of underpinnings of Jiro.

Enjoy the book and we'll see you at jiro.
