RMI
Writing an RMI Server
The compute engine server accepts tasks from clients, runs the tasks,
and returns any results. The server code consists of an interface and a
class. The interface defines the methods that can
be invoked from the client. Essentially, the interface defines the
client's view of the remote object. The class provides the
implementation.
Designing a Remote Interface
This section explains the Compute interface, which
provides the connection between the client and the server. You will
also learn about the RMI API, which supports this communication.
Implementing a Remote Interface
This section explores the class that implements the
Compute interface, thereby implementing a remote object.
This class also provides the rest of the code that makes up the server
program, including a main method that creates an instance of the
remote object, registers it with the RMI registry, and sets up a
security manager.
