Chapter 10. Building Collaborative Applications

In the previous chapter we built up a set of base classes for building collaborative applications, in both RMI and message-passing forms.

We’ll only be building applications based on the RMI version of our collaborative framework, but the mapping to message-passing versions is straightforward.
