Communication Paradigms - Connect

Essential Characteristics of RMI
Full integration with object-oriented programming language
Ability to exploit objects, class and inheritance
Added benefits from exploiting built in (object-oriented)
approaches to, for example, exception handling
From procedure calling to method invocation
Added expressiveness of supporting object references
More sophisticated options for parameter passing
E.G. See lecture on Java RMI
Pass by (object) reference
Pass by value (exploiting serialisation)
Often integrated with code (object) mobility
E.G. Use of class loading in RMI
