RMI is one of the distributed computing technology alternative powered by Java . RMI stands for Remote Method Invocation ,to keep it simple it means accessing a service from different node ( i.e., accessing a service provided by an object on server machine , here an object in client JVM talks with object in the server JVM ). Java provides an API and base some classes ( in package java.rmi ) to perform these kind of operations .
We basically use this methodology when we need to publish an object at server side which exposes set of services ( as methods in Object oriented programming terminology ) and where in one or more clients access these services from remote machines. By this we are distibuting a common code in two different JVM's and we are able to access the code on different JVM.
thanks for ur reply Mr.Pramod Reddy can u suggest a few refernce books which will be simlpe in language about the RMI and Servlets thankyou regards savitha
and comming to servlets basics you can find it any J2EE Book by wrox publications or Java Servlets by Oreilly or any Wrox publications is enough to get the basic knowledge.
Explain about RMI and it's usage
