We know of no time limit for an RMI Call. However, consider the following: When timing a request, the RMI Connection thread cannot time itself. If it gets caught in a long or never ending loop ...more

It is the choice of developer rather than any set design pattern. If the remote server wants to provide summary information about the cause of failure, then it's better to have the exception caugh...more

My understanding is that the standard RMI does not permit any way for you to limit this. If you wish to limit the number of requests that your server will handle then you will have to implement th...more

There is nothing that stops an RMI server from making native method calls. The client doesn't know it is making a request that will eventually be carried out with native code.

A replicated RMI object is one that offers transparent failover or load balancing.

This can be implemented by using the CallBack mechanism, where the server holds the reference of the client object. For every call on the remote server using the object, pass on the client ID (whi...more

There is an excellent package from Rickard Öberg which uses dynamic proxy classes to eliminate the need for RMIC itself. The package can be downloaded from: http://www.dreambean.com/download/...more

The following article has samples for a CORBA/C++ Server, CORBA/C++ Client, Java-RMI based Server and a Java-RMI based client. With this you can test interoperability between the Java-RMI and C++/...more

Quoting from the RMI Javadocs: "A NoSuchObjectException is thrown if an attempt is made to invoke a method on an object that no longer exists in the remote virtual machine. If a NoSuchObjectE...more

RMIC is invoked on the implementation class as this class may be implementing n-number of remote interfaces. Otherwise, we would have to supply all the n-number of interfaces to rmic or invoke rmi...more

If the RMI client & server are located on the same machine, what is the overhead of invoking remote method in this situation compared to a local method call? Will the call go through the entir...more

You can make use of the Windows JDK utility javaw to fire-up the Java interpreter as a separate process and run rmiregistry and your server in the background. For example, you can start up rmireg...more

Create a wrapper script like this: grant { }; save that as policy.rmid, and run rmid as rmid -J-Djava.security.policy=policy.rmid then say you get an error; just add in the error in question b...more

You can find the official Sun documentation for all of the tools in the Java 2 SDK including javac, java, javadoc, appletviewer, jar, jdb, javah, javap, extcheck, rmic, rmiregistry, rmid, serialve...more
