SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING AN RMI ACTIVATION SYSTEM DAEMON WITH NON-JAVA APPLICATIONS

摘要

An RMI (Remote Method Invocation) service framework that enables a non-Java application to be managed by an RMI activation system daemon is disclosed. The present invention enables the non-Java application to communicate with other Java applications that make use of RMI following a registration process. Additionally, because the non-Java application is managed by the RMI activation system daemon, the non-Java application displays a high degree of persistence and/or reliability ordinarily associated with RMI services. As a result, non-Java applications may be used to perform distributed and parallel computing tasks in a more efficient manner than is possible with conventional methods.
