javarmiRemote

javarmiRemote is a Java-based framework for remote procedure calls that enables applications to expose Java objects to remote clients and to invoke methods on those objects over a network. Designed to be lightweight and easily integrated with existing Java applications, it provides a simple API for publishing services, obtaining proxies, and performing remote invocations as if they were local calls.

Its architecture centers on a remote registry for discovery, endpoints that host remote objects, and a transport layer that carries an RPC protocol between clients and servers. Candidates can use either in-process servers or stand-alone daemons. The framework supports flexible serialization, including standard Java serialization and alternative formats via plug-ins, and offers pluggable transport channels such as TCP with optional TLS.

Key features include dynamic proxy generation for client stubs, automatic object export and lifecycle management, and transparent invocation semantics with synchronous calls and optional asynchronous support via futures. Security is addressed through authentication, authorization, and auditing capabilities, with integration hooks for Java security managers, JAAS, and TLS-based transport.

Usage typically involves defining a remote service interface, implementing the interface, and registering the object with the registry. Clients obtain a proxy by name or URL and invoke methods as if invoking a local object; the framework handles marshalling, network communication, and error translation. It is commonly used in distributed Java applications, microservices, and testing scenarios.
