Goals of this lesson • After this 1x35 lessons you will be • Introduced to the RMI registry (rmiregistry) • And how to use it • Introduced to RMI Callbacks • Next time Java RMI Activation and RMI IIOP
Outline • Group presentation • RMI compared with Web services (SOAP) • Theory: (35 min.) • Repetition from last time • The Architecture of Java RMI and the RMI registry • The concept of Callbacks in Java RMI • Exercises • Many had trouble last time • Complete this • Make a callback version of HelloWorld
Java compiler - javac Java compiler - javac Client Server RMI Client and Server Implementation Hello.java HelloClient.java HelloImpl.java rmic Compiler HelloImpl_Stub.class HelloImpl_Skeleton.class included in generates reads
Architecture coded manually Client Server lookup bind Registry Activation Stub Skeleton Interfaces Interfaces rmic generated rmic generated RMI Runtime ( rmid ,rmiregistry )
Naming in RMI: The RMI Registry • Simplified version of CORBA Naming • No composite names • Security Restriction: Name bindings cannot be created from remote hosts • There has to be a registry on each host
Naming in RMI: The RMI Registry package java.rmi.registry; public interface Registry extends java.rmi.Remote { public static final int REGISTRY_PORT = 1099; public java.rmi.Remote lookup(String name) throws java.rmi.RemoteException, java.rmi.NotBoundException, java.rmi.AccessException; public void bind(String name, java.rmi.Remote obj) throws java.rmi.RemoteException, java.rmi.AlreadyBoundException, java.rmi.AccessException; public void rebind(String name, java.rmi.Remote obj) throws java.rmi.RemoteException, java.rmi.AccessException; public void unbind(String name) throws java.rmi.RemoteException, java.rmi.NotBoundException, java.rmi.AccessException; public String[] list() throws java.rmi.RemoteException, java.rmi.AccessException; }
package examples.hello; import java.rmi.Naming; import java.rmi.RemoteException; import java.rmi.RMISecurityManager; import java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject; public class HelloImpl extends UnicastRemoteObject implements Hello { public HelloImpl() throws RemoteException { super(); } public String sayHello() { return "Hello World! ; } public static void main(String args[]) { // Create and install a security manager //if (System.getSecurityManager() == null) { // System.setSecurityManager(new RMISecurityManager()); //} try { HelloImpl obj = new HelloImpl(); // Bind this object instance to the name "HelloServer" Naming.rebind("rmi://192.168.1.101/HelloServer", obj); System.out.println("HelloServer bound in registry"); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("HelloImpl err: " + e.getMessage()); e.printStackTrace(); } } } Server object (HelloImpl.java) Instantiate a new object and register (bind it) in the ”rmiregistry” Following methods available: bind, rebind, unbind, lookup
package examples.hello; import java.rmi.Naming; import java.rmi.RemoteException; public class HelloClient { public static void main(String args[]) { try { obj = (Hello)Naming.lookup("rmi://192.168.1.101/HelloServer"); String message = obj.sayHello(); System.out.println(message); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("HelloApplet exception: " + e.getMessage()); e.printStackTrace(); } } } Client object (HelloClient.java) ”lookup” the HelloServer – and call Method sayHello() on Stub
Limitations of Naming • Limitation of Naming in all approaches: Client always has to identify the server by name. obj = (Hello)Naming.lookup("rmi://192.168.1.101/HelloServer"); • Inappropriate if client just wants to use a service at a certain quality but does not know from who: • Automatic cinema ticketing, • Video on demand, • Electronic commerce. • Security restriction breaks name location transparency
Nice feature – bootstrapping the Registry • As until now, you have been manually starting the RMI Registry, which is a constant source of errors and other inconviances. • May be solved more elegantly: • LocateRegistry.createRegistry(PORT); • And you are up and running, ready to bind remote objects
Callbacks • Remember PRJ3 / OBJ? • Sometimes Client/Server is not enough • Publish/Subscribe pattern / Observer • CORBA has support for this • An ORB is always both client and server • Java RMI does not have support for this • Solution: • Turn the client object into a remote object
