Improvements
I can see some places where this article could be improved
- how RMI works (the daemons threads, distributed GC, serialization, dynamic classload)
- some sample code
- Uses of RMI (e.g. Jini, EJB2.x)
- Politics: How MS dropped RMI from their MSJVM machine because DCOM was all you need.
- Issues/limitations of RMI. brittleness of interfaces/serializations, incoming calls on different threads and its implications for deadlock.
- Issues/Limitations of the official RMI implementation. Its Distributed GC algorithm, lack of layering/extensibility, security model.
What we have here is a good start to an article, but it is just a start. SteveLoughran 11:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Improvements
If I'm not mistaken, Java 5.0 does NOT automatically compile stubs for server classes. You still need to use the rmic command, as else, it won't find your stub. Can anyone confirm this?
