Fault-tolerance is usually achieved by replication the objects in the system. Traditional distributed applications constructed using Java RMI (remote method invocation) are not fault-tolerant because of the lack of support of object replication.doi:10.1002/spe.377K.Viswanathan IyerM.HarinathJohn Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Software: Practice and Expe...
Since remote method invocation on the same remote object may execute concurrently, a remote object implementation needs to make sure its implementation is thread-safe. 3.3 Garbage Collection of Remote Objects In a distributed system, just as in the local system, it is desirable to automatically ...
Remote Method Invocation (RMI) is a mechanism in object-oriented programming that allows for the invocation of remote methods. It is similar to Remote Procedure Call (RPC), but instead of calling a remote procedure, a remote method is invoked. RMI enables distributed communication and interaction...
The Java SE platform's distributed object model is similar to the Java SE platform's object model in the following ways: A reference to a remote object can be passed as an argument or returned as a result in any method invocation (local or remote). ...
Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) allows you to write distributed objects using Java. This paper describes the benefits of RMI, and how you can connect it to existing and legacy systems as well as to components written in Java. RMI provides a simple and direct model for distributed computati...
The most fundamental means of inter-object communication in Java is method invocation. Mechanisms like the Java event model are built on simple method invocations between objects in the same virtual machine. Therefore, when we want to communicate between virtual machines on different hosts, it’s ...
Remote Procedure Invocation applies the principle of encapsulation to integrating applications. If an application needs some information that is owned by another application, it asks that application directly. If one application needs to modify the data of another, then it does so by making a call ...
The system manager may also want to move servers around to rebalance the load across servers, for example due to changing input patterns. The registry that supports the binding activity needs to be accessible from all machines in the distributed system. This functionality ordinarily is supported by...
REST and RPC protocols share similar qualities. For example, both protocols are used for communicating over a distributed system. However, they still have different underlying structures and use cases. While RPC enables remote call functions as if they were local, REST APIs enable users to perform...
A method and system for transmitting objects in an object-oriented distributed system allows the reconstruction of objects and downloading of code associated with such object reconstruction to be defe
