Java Remote Method Invocation

Java™ Remote Method Invocation (Java RMI) enables you to create distributed Java technology-based applications that can communicate with other such applications. Methods of remote Java objects can be run from other Java virtual machines (JVMs), possibly on different hosts.

RMI uses object serialization to marshal and unmarshal parameters and does not truncate types, supporting object-oriented polymorphism. The RMI registry is a lookup service for ports.

• The RMI implementation
  The RMI implementation consists of three abstraction layers.
• Thread pooling for RMI connection handlers
  When a client connects to the server socket, a new thread is forked to deal with the incoming call. The IBM SDK implements thread pooling in the sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPTransport class.
• Understanding distributed garbage collection
  The RMI subsystem implements reference counting based Distributed Garbage Collection (DGC) to provide automatic memory management facilities for remote server objects.
• Debugging applications involving RMI
  When debugging applications involving RMI you need information on exceptions and properties settings, solutions to common problems, answers to frequently asked questions, and useful tools.
