Fellows,
I've been playing with rmi - I've been to the java.sun.com site and done the examples. I've read the relevant chapters in o'reilly, and can see that 'yes', it is quite cool to call objects from a remote position, and so on. I can see in how the classic 'banker' example, it may be useful to have a client implementing a 'deposit' method etc.
But to be fair, I can't see what can be accomplished by rmi that can't be by a good old TCP/IP connection and some ServerSockets....obviously I'm missing something, or am not reading my books properly !
Can some one indicate some 'real world' usuages for rmi ?
To clear the mists, if you will.
Best wishes,
Ben
