Java Beans Question:
What is the relation between the InfoBus and RMI?
Answer:
The InfoBus architecture addresses Beans talking to one in a single JVM not across multiple JVMs; while RMI (Remote Method Invocation) is intended for communication across JVMs (different Java Virtual Machines across the network). As for IIOP, one can envision a JavaBeans component that uses RMI to talk to something on another JVM and then publishes the data on the InfoBus.
Additionally, RMI could be used to allow components in different security classes to communicate within the same JVM.
