According to Jini.org, "Jini technology is a service oriented architecture that defines a programming model which both exploits and extends Java technology to enable the construction of secure, distributed systems consisting of federations of well-behaved network services and clients. Jini technology can be used to build adaptive network systems that are scalable, evolvable and flexible as typically required in dynamic computing environments." Jini provides an ambience for creating dynamically networked components, applications, and services that scale from the device to the enterprise. It is available for free and extends the Java programming model to offer you design flexibility and resiliency. It can be easily integrated to an existing network and offers an open development environment for creative collaboration through the Jini Community.

The main objectives of Jini are as follows:

·         It enables the users of the JINI Network to share various hardware and software resources across the network.

·         It facilitates access to resources across the network from any location irrespective of the location.

·         Ease of administration and management of the network

·         Seamless Network resiliency and integration
