I'm old school java guy, I've been doing C# WCF, Remoting etc.... for over a decade. When I left the java realm I was very proficient with RMI. What is the current (WCF equiv) of Remoting in the java world?

    By WCF, do you mean [Windows Communication Foundation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Communication_Foundation) ([introductory article](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee958158.aspx))? It's polite to at least include the full name with an acronym, and maybe even a link too, for the edification of the uninitiated. – Basil Bourque Jan 10 '14 at 20:54

Last time I checked, Apache CXF was a similar paradigm to WCF. Not sure if something "better" has emerged.

Note that Remoting and WCF are very different paradigms. I'm not sure what the equivalent Java framework for Remoting would be.

Not my area of expertise, but…

This question, how to implement SOA in java? (about SOA), mentions Apache ServiceMix which unifies several frameworks including providing WS-* and RESTful web services with Apache CXF (mentioned in answer by Michael Gunter).

The extension of RMI, Jini, morphed into Apache River is discussed in this question.
