Since Java launched five years ago, its cross-platform advantages and complete arithmetic architecture quickly
Form a trend and become a standard for the information world. So all kinds of information manufacturers use quickly
Java develops different products and solutions, so we can develop Java program development work everywhere.
With a Java database, a Java web server is an appearance. That's right, Java application range
And the operation environment seems very complete, but we always feel less than something, set one
As if the term, it seems to be less commonly known as "killer level" (Killer Application)
. Once this kind of "killer level" appears, Java's status is really solid, and the people who are expected to wait and see.
I will use it with confidence to accept Java. Finally, in early 1999, Sun published such a new product.
品 ─.. JINI people are like their name, like Aladdin Lights in Arabic mythology, small
The god light has a huge and omnipotent elves with a hand. JINI's influence will not be just
In the information world, its application includes various electrical products that we have learned, and even cars,
Tools. Jini will completely change the way we use these products everyday. This article first is big
The home introduces the development background of Jini and its basic concept.
Bill Joy is one of the four founders of Sun Microsystems, and his current title is Sun.
CHIEFSCIENTIST. The great deeds of this dear include he is a famous BSD (Berkeley
The author of UNIX, after joining Sun, he designed NFS (Network File System)
, The SPARC architecture (Sun's UNIX system) and UltrasParc design (Sun's workstation system).
So in the world of UNIX, he called him to make a generation of masters, in addition to establishing these stable
In addition to the UNIX system, Bill Joy also thinks how to improve the life of the computer's general user. In the past
Therefore, there is a problem that these compatible is incompatible, the main reason is to lack a set of common standards. and so
The PC and workstation are incompatible, and the hardware and hardness of each platform is incompatible, but after Java is launched,
The problem of compatibility seems to be resolved. Since Java, the application of each platform can be interoperable
So we can use Java to solve the incompatible problems of each platform, and even spread this concept.
Large applications on products outside the computer. So under the promotion of Bill Joy, Jini was born.
. Bill said when accepted, JINI's design concept is to let users use these electricity.
Brain or electrical products, just as convenient to use the phone. As we have to install a new phone,
Just apply to a group of phone numbers, then buy a telephone, just put the plug into the wall.
A bit plug, pick up the microphone, he heard the sound, you can call it immediately, answer the phone.
But now we have to install the new computer around, such as adding a printer or digital video camera.
We have to install the driver, update the driver, if you want to add a computer on the Internet or
The printing machine, also set the protocial, IP address, or what "aromatic neighborness on the network" ....... in case
You use a hand-filled computer, you have to come back to a new environment, or you can't use it.
Resources on this network. JINI's design concept is to share with Jani, Java
Standard, truly reaching the Plug-and-Work, a distributed network shared by network resources
The road operation environment makes everything easier.
Jini is a small section, and the original Java environment is applied to electricity in software or hardware.
Brain equipment or electronic device. So any product support Jini can be used to exchange resources. There will be a JINI server on a JINI network, which can be a PC, UNIX workstation
Or Maijin Tower, its main function is when a contact center. All members join this network
They will register it, and this JINI server manages all available information on this JINI network.
source. For example, a printer is inserted to join the JINI network, which will be registered with JINI server.
Said: "I am a printer, I can provide printed services. Then a hard disk is also connected to the network connector.
Register with JINI Server: "I am a hard disk, I can provide information access service, so Jini is
The test records the services available on these Internet. Come again if there is a handcuffed computer to join this
JINI network, on the one hand it will also register, and it will ask JINI server "in this
What resources do I have on JINI networks? "So our general manager JINI server will pass
Know it "We have a printer, a hard disk." Next, if you want to print, you can immediately
Printing out; if you want to store information, you can save your information to this hard disk immediately.
No need to install any driver in advance, do not change any system design, just through jini, do
Anything is as simple as the installation phone.
Moreover, JINI's application range is not just a computer. We have already announced the list of manufacturers who have already supported Jini
You can know. In addition to the computer industry Epson, Novell, Quantum, Seagate, IBM, etc.
In addition, there is a telecommunications industry Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson, Siemens; home appliance industry
Sony, Philips, Toshibhiba, Tatung, Samsung ..., Network Device Master 3com,
Cisco, and other leaders like Kodak, Canon, Xerox, etc., all announced
Develop product support for JINI. So the integration of information products is not a dream. I took a hand
PC, to a new exhibition site, connect, immediately use the local print
Meter, fax machine, three gun projectors .... I can use Big Brother to join Jini network through wireless news.
Use it to control all electrical supplies, appointment video, email, internet access ..., or
It is often seen immediately on the street, as long as it supports jini, it can install
Bit camera, immediately transfer this image to self after you have documented.
In the electronic mailbox of yourself or others, you can play an imagination and expand Jini's use to the day.
Each corner of life.
Summary, this is only one purpose, it is "simple", so that high-profile technology content is hidden.
After the scene, let the general user can "simply" use all Internet information, this is our information.
Things you should do. Of course, there are many ways to achieve this goal, but using existing
Java and Jini technology are undoubtedly the fastest and effective way. Latest information and technology about Jini
