RPC Package for Java

Abstract

Java is an object-oriented and interpreted language. Java object code is machine independent and can be run by an interpreter running on any machine. Applets written in Java language can thus be downloaded and executed on any machine. We have provided an RPC package for Java so that Java applications can make remote calls to RPC servers. We have also provided functions so that both RPC clients and servers can be programmed in Java. We have used the underlying Sun RPC to implement RPC in Java. 1 Introduction This is an age of World Wide Web (WWW). Among the several WWW browsers available taday, Hotjava is among the most promising ones. Hotjava, unlike other WWW browsers, can support dynamic objects or applets. Applets are pieces of code that the browser can download from the remote site and execute 1 on the local machine. This capability of being able to fetch and execute code dynamically, enhances the power of WWW enormously. With this, the web can be used in ways not possible befo..
