Well, maybe the same words have not been used before.  Some of the
simplification attempts that the J2EE world and other containers make can
actually hide a great deal of the specifics which would provide the transfer of
knowledge that would make it easy for you to grasp the specifics.

We probably should put together some better descriptions of the current state of
the art in the use of mobile code with Java and Jini.
