Using the Java Class Library

The fastest way to learn SmartSockets is by example. Before many of the key concepts of SmartSockets are introduced, the first lesson demonstrates how to write, compile, and execute two sample Java programs that use SmartSockets for interprocess communication.

The TIBCO SmartSockets User’s Guide describes SmartSockets in much greater detail, using a layered approach: first describing messages, then peer-to-peer connections, then client-server connections, and finally how to monitor and debug a SmartSockets application. When concepts are not clear from the tutorial, or are not presented in enough depth, refer to the TIBCO SmartSockets User’s Guide for more details.
