You've reached the end of the "IDL" trail.
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:
RMI:
RMI is a Java-to-Java alternative to IDL for
writing client/server programs.
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.
