Questions tagged [jini]

jini (aka Apache River) is a SOA programming model that extends Java to create secure distributed systems consisting of clients and services. It allows for advanced distributed operations such as dynamic discovery, mobile code, and service groups (called federations).

Java Jini is no longer active under Sun, and has since become Apache River (http://river.apache.org/). For deeper information into jini (aka River), see the Apache River project page.

Jini accomplishes some of the issues behind doing distributed systems by employing a few essential elements. Codebases are used for mobile code via Java RMI, a Lookup Service (called "reggie") is used by client code to find Jini services, and Jini executes distributed transactions via a Transaction Service (called "mahalo"). For the basic services and how they inter-operate, see the Getting Started guide here: http://river.apache.org/user-guide-basic-river-services.html

Is JINI at all active anymore?

Everyone I talk to who knows (knew) about it claims it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Why did it fail? Or, if it didn't fail, who's using it now?

Apache River documentation

As it seems to me Jini is no longer available and it is moved to Apache River. There is poor documentation, and I wonder if there are some tutorials or other documentation for starting with Apache River.

What is the difference between Jini and RMI?

I'm new in Jini technology. I understand it is used for distributed computing or "network plug and play". But I don't understand the difference between pure RMI and Jini. Also, I want to understand when Jini is used.

Is there a better technology than Apacher River (Jini) for Remote Procedure Calls?

I am planning to do a simple Remote Procedure Call (RPM) over the web and I am currently using WebSockets. I was wondering if Jini is better than WebSockets or if there is a newer API or framework for Java to do RPC.
