JINI Overivew


JINI is a Java standard for communications between services.

  • Centralized service location broker.
  • Dynamic discovery and execution of Java code.
  • RMI communications protocol.
  • Resource leasing
  • JavaSpaces - persistent & transactional "tuples" in a shared workspace.

JINI does not have an easy time crossing LAN boundaries. The concept of a bridge exists but only to specific services.
