RMI Playground

Discovering Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI) procedures.

Packages an RMI server into a JAR and lets a client execute Java code remotely through the server's RMI interface.
Also offers the possibility to package and test the server as a Docker container, as a proof-of-concept.

The Server

Option #1: standalone server

1. ./build.sh to compile the source code
2. ./server.sh to run the server

Option #2: server as a Docker image

1. ./build-docker.sh to compile the source code into a Docker image
2. ./server-docker.sh to run the server as a Docker container

The Client

Make sure to have built the code with either ./build.sh or ./build-docker.sh prior to this.

./client.sh [n]

Run a batch of n remote invocations, defaulting to 1 if no argument specified.
Use -1 to loop indefinitely.
