Java RMI: by Tanmoy Barman

RMI allows Java programs running on one JVM (client) to invoke methods on another JVM (server). It uses stubs and skeletons as proxies to make remote objects appear local. The RMI architecture consists of an application layer, proxy layer, remote reference layer, and transport layer. It works by the RMI registry, which acts as a naming service to bind remote objects, and clients look up objects by name and invoke methods on remote objects. Compared to CORBA, RMI is specific to Java while CORBA supports multiple languages, and RMI provides integrated distributed garbage collection while CORBA does not.

- It8s also calle* the #t$b*#&eleton layer. A Stub class is a client

reference to the objects which are communicates with the Stub.
