The Jini Network technology from Sun Microsystems is an open
software architecture that helps Java dynamic networking for constructing
distributed systems that are highly adaptive and useful to change according to
the need and situation's demands. According to Sun Microsystems, "A Jini
system is a distributed system based on the idea of federating groups of users
and the resources required by those users. The overall goal is to turn the
network into a flexible, easily administered tool on which resources can be
found by human and computational clients. Resources can be implemented as
either hardware devices, software programs, or a combination of the two." You
can use the Jini Network technology to create technology systems that are
scalable, evolvable, and flexible, in dynamic runtime environments in a
multifaceted way. In this article we have had a look at what the JINI
Technology is all about and also a brief introduction to Jini Extensible Remote
Invocation (Jini ERI). Happy reading!
