Book review: Java RMI
“With the rise of XML-based RPC (e.g. SOAP, XML-RPC, APEX), the distributed computing world is starting to really unsettle from the CORBA-RMI-DCOM oligopoly of the 1980s and 1990s. Yet, XML-based RPC is not a panacea (though it is quite cool), especially for those of us involved in the legacy and client-server worlds. Now, what is fascinating: the publishing world is revving up the engines on not only the XML-based RPC stuff, but also the RMI and CORBA stuff — while rarely applied to the tech industry, the old adage, “what was old is new again,” seems to fit well here. This review describes this über-cool trend from the RMI perspective, with a focus on Java RMI (O’Reilly) by William Grosso.” [Slashdot]
