Jini network technology, which includes JavaSpaces Technology and Jini extensible remote invocation (Jini ERI), is an open architecture that enables developers to create network-centric services -- whether implemented in hardware or software -- that are highly adaptive to change. Jini technology can be used to build adaptive networks that are scalable, evolvable and flexible as typically required in dynamic computing environments.
At a Glance
Why use Jini Technology?
Provides an environment for creating dynamically networked components, applications, and services that scale from the device to the enterprise
Offers an open development environment for creative collaboration through the Jini Community
Unique Qualities
Code Mobility: Extends the Java programming model to the network; i.e., moves data and executables via a Java object over a network
Protocol agnostic: Provides the ultimate in design flexibility
Leasing: Enables network self-healing and self-configuration; i.e. improving fault tolerance
Unique Benefits
Resiliency - Networks readily adapt to changes in the computing environment
Integration - Allows fast, easy incorporation of legacy, current, and future network components
Licensing - Jini network technology is available free of charge with an evergreen license
