JINI (2)

• Today we have attach disks to a file server. We need “drivers” for all devices and all flavors of operating systems. Tomorrow (with Jini) we will plug the disks directly to the network

• This will work with

  • hardware: disk dowers, cameras, printers, scanners
  • software services: email gateways, etc.

• Both hardware and software are services

  • Everything is an object
  • Everything is accessed through an interface

• Very general picture: in future digital TV, phone, computer, DVD player can (will) communicate via Jini
