What is?
• Networking
– moving files and data
– run programs on another host
• Remote Method Invocation
– a facility that allows Java programs
to call certain methods on a remote
server
– another virtual machine
– search engine
– remote objects and methods work
just like the local ones
• Socket
cont
– applications-level protocols to
encode and decode messages

Cont’d
– needs threaded Server
• RPC( Remote Procedure Call )
– external data representation, such as
XDR
– does not translate well into
distributed object systems

Security
• Just as an applet
– a host can limit what the remote
clients can do
– SecurityManager
– Public key authentication
• allow different users different levels of
access to a remote object

Object Serialization
• Object reference
– really transferred is a reference to
the object
– problem
• the remote machine can’t read what’s
in the memory of the local machine
• Two ways around this problem
– a special remote reference to the
object
• when the local machine passes a
remote object to the remote machine
– a copy of the object
• when the local machine passes one of
its own objects to the remote machine
cont

Cont’d
• To copy an object
– convert the object into a stream of
bytes
• more difficult than it appears at first
glance because objects can include
other objects as fields
• these bytes can also be written to disk,
and read back from disk at a later time
• For security reasons, some
limitation on serializable
– All Java primitive types and remote
objects can be serialized
– non-remote objects can only be
serialized if they implement the
java.io.Serializable interface
cont

Cont’d
• Not Serializable
– Threads, InputSreams,
OutputSreams, Peer classes, JDBC
ResultSet, Most of the sun classes
• Interface java.io.Serializable
– has no methods or fields and serves
only to identify the semantics of
being serializable

Under the Hood
• Three different mechanisms to
pass arguments to and return
resluts
– primitive types( int, boolean…)
• passed by value
– reference to remote objects
• remote reference
– objects that do not implement the
Remote interface
• complete copies
– Objects that do not allow
themselves to be serialized

• Compatibility with existing Java
programs, Transparency to the

Server Program
Logical Path

Remote Reference Layer

Client Program
Stub

The Internet

Cont’d
• Stub
– a special object that implements the
remote interfaces of the remote
object
– calling remote object, in fact calling
an equivalent method in the stub
– passes the invocation into the
remote reference layer
• Remote Reference Layer
– Sometimes refers to multiple virtual
machines on multiple hosts

11
Packages
• java.rmi
– include exceptions that will be
visible on the client side
• java.rmi.server
– include exceptions that will be
visible on the client side
• java.rmi.registry
• java.rmi.dgc
– distributed garbage collection

Hello World
• Four source files
– The Java remote interface
– The Java remote object (server)
which implements the remote
interface
– The Java applet
– The HTML code

13
Remote Interface
• Why need?
– So many problems in network
• Characteristics
– must be public
– extends java.rmi.Remote
– throws
java.rmi.RemoteException
– A remote object passed as an
argument or return value must be
declared as the remote interface, not
the implementation class

Implementation Class
• Needs to
–
–
–
–
implements a interface
define a constructor
implements methods
create and install a
SecurityManager
– create one or more instances of
remote object
– register a remote object

eObject extends
java.rmi.server.RemoteServer extends
java.rmi.server.RemoteObject

Cont’d
• define a constructor
– super( )
• java.rmi.server.UnicastRemote
Object, which "exports" the remote
object
– java.rmi.RemoteException
• implements methods
– the methods not specified in the
remote interface
• can only be invoked within the virtual
machine running the service
• create and install a
SecurityManager
cont

19
Cont’d
• create one or more instances of
remote objects
• register a remote object
– like URL
– default port:1099
– For security reasons, an application
can bind or unbind only in the
registry running on the same host

Client Applet
Program Source
package examples.hello;
import java.awt.*;
import java.rmi.*;
public class HelloApplet extends java.applet.Applet {
String message = "";
public void init() {
try {
Hello obj = (Hello)Naming.lookup("//" +
getCodeBase().getHost() + "/HelloServer");
message = obj.sayHello();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("HelloApplet exception: " +
e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString(message, 25, 50);
}

• rmic
– rmic -d

se
examples.hello.HelloImpl

Start
Registry and Server
• Start registry
– rmiregistry &
– rmiregistry 2001 &
– must stop and restart the registry
any time you modify a remote
interface, etc.
• Launch the server
– java HelloImpl &
