Java RMI Alcides Calsavara Objetivos • Permitir que um método de uma classe Java em execução em uma máquina virtual JVM chame um método de um objeto (instância de uma classe Java) situado em outra máquina virtual JVM, usando a mesma sintaxe e com a mesma facilidade de se chamar um método local. • Transparência de acesso e de localização. Esquema geral JVM servidor JVM cliente objeto da classe S método f da classe C em execução método g chamada remota Remote Method Invocation • Facility to call methods remotely • Similar to RPC - Remote Procedure Call • High-level communication abstraction • The RMI mechanism provides: • control transfer between caller and called • parameters cans be exchanged • class definitions can be exchanged • RMI support in Java provides: • A specific API • compilation support tools • runtime support General scenario naming service Registry object reference is published 1 get an object reference 2 perceived Server Skeleton Client actual 3 communication Stub Componentes em execução cliente f de C servidor chamda remota de g S_Stub lookup S_Skel Socket Cliente Socket Servidor Socket Cliente Socket Servidor g de S cria main bind Naming Naming Registry Hierarquia de classes e interfaces Interface Remote Classe UnicastRemoteObject extends Interface R assinatura de g implements extends Classe S implementação de g Compilação S.java C.java javac javac S.class C.class rmic S_Skel.class S_Stub.class Comandos Compilação: javac S.java rmic S javac C.java Execução (3 processos): rmiregistry java S java C A Java RMI example // file iCalendar.java // specifies a date server interface import java.rmi.* ; public interface iCalendar extends Remote { java.util.Date getDate () throws RemoteException ; } The RMI date server // file CalendarImpl.java // the date server implementation import import import import // ... java.util.Date; java.rmi.*; java.rmi.registry.*; java.rmi.server.*; The RMI date server public class CalendarImpl extends UnicastRemoteObject implements iCalendar { public CalendarImpl() throws RemoteException {} public Date getDate () throws RemoteException { return new Date (); } The RMI date server public static void main(String args[]) { CalendarImpl cal; try { cal = new CalendarImpl(); LocateRegistry.createRegistry(1099); Naming.bind("rmi:///CalendarImpl", cal); System.out.println("Ready !"); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } The RMI date client // file CalendarUser.java import java.util.Date; import java.rmi.*; public class CalendarUser { // constructor public CalendarUser() {} The RMI date client public static void main(String args[]) { long t1=0,t2=0; Date date; iCalendar remoteCal; try { remoteCal = (iCalendar) Naming.lookup ("rmi://some.host.com/CalendarImpl"); t1 = remoteCal.getDate().getTime(); t2 = remoteCal.getDate().getTime(); } The RMI date client catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } System.out.println ("This RMI call took ” + (t2-t1) + " milliseconds"); } // main } // class CalendarUser RMI naming service • Very simple • Manages pairs [name, object reference] • names are keys to get references • there is no “domain” notion • Implementation • Only one registry per process • Defaults to TCP/IP port 1099 • Applications can register names only in a registry running on its host • Registry server can be launched manually or inside the program Naming service method calls • To create a registry at port 1099: LocateRegistry.createRegistry (1099); • To bind a name to a reference: Naming.bind ("rmi:///someobj", objRef); • To resolve a name: obj = (objClass) Naming.lookup ("rmi://some.host/someobj"); Dynamic class loaders • To dynamic load classes used by a running program or applet • from the local disks or the network • Three kinds of class loaders: • Default class loader: to load the classes needed by the JVM (CLASSPATH variable). • Applet class loader: to download applets and additional classes from the applet server. • RMI class loader: to download from the remote server host all the classes (stubs, skeletons, parameters) to allow the RMI calls. Setting the RMI class loader • On the client side: // launch the RMI security manager System.setSecurityManager ( new RMISecurityManager () ); // set a system property System.getProperties ().put ( "java.rmi.server.codebase", "http://some.where/java/classes/” ); • On the server side: • Put stubs and classes at the indicated place Building apps with RMI Interface source code rmic compiler server source code Skeleton rmic compiler Stub client source code javac compiler javac compiler Server bytecode Client bytecode
