Java Network Programming, 3rd Edition, Harold E.R., 2004.

   Thoroughly revised to cover all the 100+ significant updates to Java Developers Kit (JDK) 1.5, 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, servlets, and the new I/O API. This is the essential resource for any serious Java developer.
   Java's growth over the last 10 years has been nothing short of phenomenal. Given Java's rapid rise to prominence and the even more spectacular growth of the Internet, it's a little surprising that network programming in Java is still so mysterious to so many. It doesn't have to be. In fact, writing network programs in Java is quite simple, as this book will show. Readers with previous experience in network programming in a Unix, Windows, or Macintosh environment should be pleasantly surprised at how much easier it is to write equivalent programs in Java. The Java core API includes well-designed interfaces to most network features. Indeed, there is very little application-layer network software you can write in C or C++ that you can't write more easily in Java. Java Network Programming, 3rd Edition endeavors to show you how to take advantage of Java's network class library to quickly and easily write programs that accomplish many common networking tasks. Some of these include:
