RMIbased

RMIbased refers to applications or systems that utilize the Remote Method Invocation (RMI) technology. RMI is a Java API that allows an object running in one Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to invoke methods on an object running in another JVM. This enables distributed computing, where different parts of an application can reside on separate machines and communicate with each other over a network.

The core concept behind RMIbased systems is the creation of remote objects, which are Java objects that implement specific interfaces designed for remote access. Clients interact with these remote objects through stubs, which are client-side proxies that handle the communication details, such as marshaling parameters and unmarshaling results. The RMI runtime then takes care of transmitting these calls and responses across the network to the server-side skeleton, which dispatches the method invocation to the actual remote object.

RMIbased architectures are often employed in scenarios requiring distributed services, such as enterprise applications, server-side processing, and peer-to-peer networks. They offer a way for Java applications to distribute computational tasks and share data across different machines, fostering scalability and modularity. However, RMIbased systems also introduce complexities related to network latency, fault tolerance, and security, which must be carefully considered during development and deployment. The RMI registry is a crucial component, acting as a lookup service where remote objects can be registered and clients can find them.
