So good news is that RMI has enabled very active distributed computing research and indeed development as in JavaSpaces from Sun
|
Performance is reasonable but insufficient for some applications
-
It is already good enough to get started and for instance outperforms many (Java) CORBA implementations
|
Forum suggests (optional) changes in several areas including
-
Serialization -- this is used in Persistent object storage and to transmit objects between different programs in a distributed application -- can be optimized differently for each case
-
Transport Layer -- need to be able to layer RMI interfaces over fast transport mechanisms -- Myrinet, native ATM etc.
