RMI (Remote Method Invocation) Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. RMI is the basis of distributed object computing in the Java environment. It defines how Java components can interoperate in a multiple Java VM environment. RMI provides the tools that programmers need to create distributed Java applications (objects) that can invoke methods on other Java applications that are running on other Java virtual machines, such as remote hosts across the Internet. Invoking a method is like asking another program to do something. A Java object must first obtain a reference to another Java object before it can invoke its methods. It may obtain these references via another Java application or it may obtain them through a naming service that is built into RMI. Copyright (c) 2001 Tom Sheldon and Big Sur Multimedia.
