Mechanisms for object caching in distributed applications using Java RMI

Efficient Object Caching for Distributed Java RMI Applications

Efficient Implementation of Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI)

Java and the Remote Method Invocation (RMI) mechanism supported by it make it easy to build distributed applications and services in a heterogeneous environment. When the applications are interactive and require low response time, e cient implementations of RMI are needed. We explore both transport level protocols as well as object caching in the RMI framework to meet the performance requiremen...

A Configurable RMI Mechanism for Sharing Distributed Java Objects

M any distributed programming environments have been designed to support distributed shared objects over the Internet. Most of these environments—Java RMI1 and CORBA,2 for example—support clientserver applications where distributed objects reside on servers, which execute all methods (remote or local) invoked on the objects. Traditional client-server models do not support client-side object cac...

A Framework for Smart Proxies and Interceptors in RMI

The Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) API shields the developer from the details of distributed programming, allowing him to concentrate on application specific code. But to perform some operations that are orthogonal to the application, like logging, auditing, caching, QoS, fault tolerance, and security, sometimes it is necessary to customize the default behavior of the RMI runtime. Other mi...

Using Semantic Knowledge of Distributed Objects to Increase Reliability and Availability

As systems become more distributed, they also become more complex. To ensure consistent execution while maximizing availability, distributed applications use various mechanisms such as replication, load balancing, and data caching. The protocols used for consistency management and component availability are traditionally instantiated by the application. However, in distributed object-based envi...
