Re: Replacing JRMP with JERI

Are there any plans to split JERI out from Jini say into a net.jeri.*
package?

Also, I was hoping for more of a step by step tutorial. Not so much on
moving from Jini 1.0 to 2.0, more on just moving a regular old J2SE JRMP
system to J2SE JERI. Anything like that around?

John McClain did a nice series on "Moving code to 2.0".  Start with the
article at

Yes, you can just use JERI.  You should consider JERI to be RMI 2.0.
All you need to understand is the use of Exporter and ProxyPreparer to
get started.  If you want to take advantage of the more complete
security features in JERI, then you'll need to look at some of the
tutorials in the "Hello World" example on configuring an Exporter that
utilizes constraints supported by a particular invocation layer factory
implementation.  Also, the use of ConfigurationFile input files for
setting up your Exporter and other pieces makes it really easy to have a
simple configuration for testing and a complete configuration for
production.  In particular, the delays associated with advanced key
generation, can make testing cycles slower than necessary if you use
that level of security.
