Foil 92 RMI: Remote Method Invocation

From JavaBeans CORBA ComponentWare UC Web applications Certificate -- Aug 11,14 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Wojtek Furmanski
This is Java's CORBA-like capability to allow Java objects to access each other's methods remotely
Note COM is Microsoft's (remote) object model
CORBA is Industry (OMG) remote object model
RMI is Java's way for remote objects to communicate
It extends the well known Remote Procedure Call (RPC) used in UNIX
RMI is thus part of a JavaBean global object model
  • One can imagine that RMI will not "survive" but rather one will use instead the JavaBean to CORBA interface described in earlier examples
