NexusRMI Documentation
This is the documentation describing the Unix version of NexusRMI.
What is NexusRMI?
NexusRMI is a Remote Method Invocation framework implementing broadly the same functionality
as Java's own
Remote Method Invocation
framework. We implemented most of the functionality, but some things are yet unsupported.
NexusRMI is built on top of NexusJava which
is part of the Globus project. Because some modifications that
had to be made to NexusJava in order to work for NexusRMI, we include the NexusJava package in this
NexusRMI release.
This distribution includes a complete RMI runtime system, together with two supporting compilers: the
first compiler supports object serialization, which is used to pass non-remote objects by value, the
second compiler generates the necessary stub and skeleton pairs.
