Resumen de Using Java: remote method invocation
An aim of distributed system is successful interaction among programs running in different address spaces. An earlier article in this series (;login: October 1998) discussed RMI, Sun's way of allowing programs written enterely in Java to share information across address boundaries. RMI permits a Java object in one address space to invoke methods contained in Java object that runs in a separate address space. This can happen in applications in which each object is a thread that is run in its own address space. Another way to run in separate address spaces in to run each Java program on a separate machine. An important feature of RMI is that a method invocation on a local project has the same syntax as that on a remote object.
This article presents a simple RMI example that walks the reader through the steps required to writer such applications.
