Remote Method Invocation (RMI) API overview

Remote Method Invocation (RMI) is used when writing object-oriented programming so objects on different machines are able to communicate in a distributed network environment.

RMI is the Java™ version of a remote procedure call (RPC), however, it also includes the capability to pass one or more objects along with the request. The RMI API provides functionality for loading and running maps, overriding adapters in cards, setting and retrieving object properties, as well as feeding data to maps and obtaining data from maps. The remote feature in the RMI API makes maps available to be run outside of the client process space.

For more information about the RMI API client interfaces, see the Javadocs by opening the package-summary.html file located in install_dir\docs\dtxpi\com\ibm\websphere\dtx\dtxpi\rmi.
