Hello Rajesh,
Thank you very much for your reply.
Actually I never worked much on RMI before.
Since my client is so keen on using RMI look am just wondering would extra benefit
would he get by using RMI look up.
I understand the simplicity and the advantages of using JNDI lookup. But I am just
wondering, is there any advantage using RMI look up over JNDI.
And also If the client is so keen on RMI look up. Is there a way to do it?
Thank you for your time.
Regards
Yogaraj

Hello Yograj,
U can access the EJB home only thru JNDI lookup.
I couldnt get why u r not directly looking up the EJB's thru JNDI from the
client.
If the problem is of exposing ur architecture use FrontControllers.
The method u've told have some drawbacks.
1) It's addition of one unwanted layering. U access the EJB thru
JNDI lookup from RMI Server. U cannot get rid of the JNDI access.
U can have the handle only after having the home reference. The handles
r essentially used to have the reference to the home over a period
of time.
2) The usage of Handles have some problems. Handles can do nothing as its
own. If the business methods have to be executed, home reference has to be
reconstructed before trying it.
Both these will affect the performance.
For ur case, i cannot see the need of RMI lookup from the reqmnts. u'v
given.
JNDI - always preferred for its simplicity. The underlying impl is provided
by
the appln. server provider. JNDI to lookup a vast array of services using a
simple API. RMI lookup - only for lookup of RMI services. Refer the specs
or online tutorials for more details.
Hope its clear.
Best regards,
Rajesh
