Are There Any JXTA Users Out There?
Whatsmynickname passes along this query: "I wasn't aware of the JXTA protocol for P2P, but I've recently been tasked to look into it. Has anyone done any serious work with JXTA yet? Is this protocol going anywhere yet? Yeah, I've searched Slashdot, but past articles, did not leave me with a warm-and-fuzzy feeling that big things are happening with JXTA. Looking at the C version of JXTA, nothing much has gone on there, judging by the last time source code has been updated. When you consider it only supports a http transport, the C version looks like it needs work. The java side has a demo program that I've played around with and looked at via a network sniffer. So far, I've had some reservations about using XML as it's message framework, and the model used for peer discovery (a peer sends a discovery msg with some or all other peers replying). Comments?" For those of you who have tried JXTA and were let down, what drove you away. For those of you still using JXTA, what keeps you using it as opposed to other P2P frameworks? -
Advances in Decentralized Peer Networks
PureFiction writes "Peer networks are gaining some attention these days given advances in much more decentralized search architectures and swarming distribution networks. Research has indicated that these decentralized networks are resistant to legal and technological attacks. The continued proliferation of broadband and wireless networking will ensure pervasive deployment of distributed peer networking infrastructure that will drive significant innovations in personal and community digital communications services." -
JXTA for JXME: "Find it, Get it, Use it!"
webjam writes: "JXTA for JXME shows a practical use of Sun's JavaTM 2 Platform Micro Edition. "Project JXTA is short for Juxtapose. It is in recognition that peer to peer is juxtapose to client server or Web based computing." The purpose of project JXTA for J2ME is to provide JXTA functionality to java enabled cell-phones and handhelds. We will soon see applications released based on these projects and technologies. Those who understand and can efficiently develop applications using these tools will no doubt have a prosperous future. Even with a limited knowledge of programming, working applications can be created using the APIs provided. Check out the Software requirements and build instructions. Once running it will provide application developers with the emulation environment; documentation and examples needed to develop Java technology applications targeted at CLDC/MIDP compliant mobile phones and entry level PDAs. Also, check out some of the main JXTA projects and applications developed so far..... Oh, I almost forgot, for sending instant messaging from your mobile toys, I would suggest you go ahead and spring for that teeny external keyboard :-) Alphanumeric just doesn't cut it." -

Sun Launches JXTA
Daniel Rall writes: "Project JXTA, originally a research project spearheaded by Bill Joy and Mike Clary, is now an open source effort, with a vision to enable developers to create innovative services and applications. It addresses the need for an open, generalized protocol that interoperates with any peer on the network including PCs, servers and other connected devices." Seems to be a combination of Gnutella and Beowulf clustering - lots of potential.
