Like plain RMI, +RMI over IIOP allows to work completely in the Java programming language +(no IDL). When CORBA needs a separate helper class for each structure being +passed, RMI over IIOP only needs stubs and ties for the objects that are remotely +accessible. As a result, development with RMI-IIOP is easier. However the +specialised pure CORBA helpers needs no reflection to transfer they structures +and hence may be faster than methods, used by both RMI-IIOP and plain RMI. +</p><p> +Like RMI, RMI over IIOP provides flexibility by allowing to pass any serializable +Java object (Objects By Value) between application components. A certain +"imaginary IDL" is automatically supposed; this IDL can be explicitly generated +and later used to interoperate with non-java application. +</p><p> +Like CORBA, RMI over IIOP is based on open standards defined with the +participation of hundredsof vendors and users in the OMG. It uses IIOP +communication protocol that provides much better interoperability with other +programming languages. +</p><p> +With RMI/IIOP you can use advanced CORBA features: multiple objects per servant +and servants per object, servant activators and locators, servant, client and +ior interceptors, CORBA naming service, various ORB policies, stringified object +references and so on. This functionality is based on CORBA value type standard. +RMI/IIOP supports (and GNU Classpath implements) transferring of the arbitrary +connected object graphs (graph flattenning). +</p><p> +GNU Classpath RMI-IIOP functionality is implemented as described in +OMG formal/03-09-04 (IDL to Java mapping v1.3). Value types are written as +described in formal/04-03-12 (CORBA 3.0.3). +</p> +@author Wu Gansha (gansha.wu@intel.com), headers. +@author Audrius Meskauskas (AudriusA@Bioinformatics.org), implementation. +</body> +</html> |
