Using RMI-IIOP

This section describes how to use the IBM® RMI-IIOP implementation.

The rmic compiler
Reference information about the rmic compiler.
The idlj compiler
Reference information for the idlj compiler.
Making RMI programs use IIOP
A general guide to converting an RMI application to use RMI-IIOP.
Connecting IIOP stubs to the ORB
When your application uses IIOP stubs, as opposed to JRMP stubs, you must properly connect the IIOP stubs with the ORB before starting operations on the IIOP stubs (this is not necessary with JRMP stubs). This section discusses the extra 'connect' step required for the IIOP stub case.
Thread pooling for RMI connection handlers
When a client connects to the server socket, a new thread is forked to deal with the incoming call. The IBM SDK implements thread pooling in the sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPTransport class.
Understanding distributed garbage collection
The RMI subsystem implements reference counting based Distributed Garbage Collection (DGC) to provide automatic memory management facilities for remote server objects.
Restrictions when running RMI programs over IIOP
A list of limitations when running RMI programs over IIOP.
