RMI-IIOP specification

I look out for an exact specification of the RMI-IIOP,similarly to the
specification of the RMI (http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/rmi/).
My special interest concerns the 'Parameter Transmission'. Probably there
are no hardly differences between RMI and RMI-IIOP, but I would like to know
it exactly.
Thanks in advance,
Frank

I'm not sure I understand what it is that you are looking for. The IIOP
specification is defined by OMG. How Java types map to IDL types is defined by
the first spec on this site. How IDL valuetypes map to IIOP is defined on the
second.
I do not believe that there is a separate specification for RMI/IIOP since it
really depends on these other OMG specifications. There is a separate
specification for EJB-CORBA interoperability at:
http://java.sun.com/products/ejb/docs.html
Hope this helps,

Hi Robert!
Thank you, but I knew that site before. It only contains the two
specifications of the Object Management Group, on which RMI over IIOP is
based on. I search for an exact specification of the RMI-IIOP itself.
Thanks,

  • Use RMI-IIOP with wls 5.1 or 6.0 ???

    Morning,
    I was wondering if is was possible to use RMI-IIOP with
    WebLogic Server 5.1 or 6.0 and if possible with which version
    of the RMI-IIOP specification ???
    I've not seen any information about that in the documentation ; if anybody could
    help, I would appreciate !
    Thanks a lot.

  • RMI/IIOP and WTC

    The web docs talk about modifying RMI/IIOP applications to use WTC.
    Just need a confirmation that RMI/IIOP calls to EJBs in WLS will not be
    transactional. That XA transactions will require the ATMI interface to
    Tuxedo EJBs. (Beta in WLS 6.1)

    Carl,
    I for one would be interested to hear how you are using the Tuxedo/WTC (I
    assume you mean Java ATMI) in your application. We need some feedback here
    in development land so that we can see which things you like about jATMI and
    which things you like less...
    Of course, anyone using jATMI can reply as well...

    Thanks for the clarification. While we will need to support CORBA style
    access at some time, the Tuxedo/WTC interface fits nicely in our current
    legacy to WLS architecture.

    Yes, the ATMI interface to WTC should be transactional.
    But I would assume that RMI/IIOP applications that uses WTC for access
    to
    WLS naming service would not be transactional due to limitations in
    the
    RMI/IIOP specification regarding transactions.
    Just looking for confirmation that BEA has not done anything to make
    RMI/IIOP calls into WLS transactional.RMI-IIOP calls over wtc (i.e. RMI-TGIOP) are transactional and
    secure. RMI-IIOP calls over vanilla IIOP are not transactional, but
    can be secure. OTS support is coming in Acadia.
    RMI-IIOP over wtc totally leverages the ATMI support so you get all
    the same features + CORBA-style access. The RMI-IIOP spec is fairly
    irrelevant in this instance since we do not have to to support
    interoperable transactions to support transaction propagation from Tux
    over WTC. That's kind of the whole point - the specs have their rough
    edges when it comes to defining transactions and security over IIOP
    but we give you exactly what you want (transactions and security)
    using the internal tux domains protocol.

  • How to get InitialContextFactory using RMI/IIOP without using weblogic.jar

    Hi Robert
    I know this is an old post. but I am interested in knowing how to get the

    like weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory . If you have a code snippet that
    you can provide as an example, it would be just great.

    Hi ejp,
    because my stand alone client application runs on telecom server which uses orbacus. It calls the remote method on sun AS using RMI IIOP
    I specifed the properties of the client to use SUN AS naming services.
    I added j2ee.jar and appserv-rt.jar in my client program. but i dont know eventhough i specified the Util properties to use as below
    props.put("javax.rmi.CORBA.UtilClass","com.sun.corba.ee.impl.javax.rmi.CORBA.Util");
    props.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass", "com.sun.corba.ee.impl.orb.ORBImpl");
    props.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass", "com.sun.corba.ee.impl.orb.ORBSingleton");
    props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory");
    props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"iiop://10.24.17.68:3360"); // the port of the application server
    props.put("ooc.orb.service.NameService", "corbaloc:iiop:10.24.17.68:3360/NameService");
    ORB orb = ORB.init(args,props);
    Context ctx;
    Object obj;
    try {
    ctx = new InitialContext(props);
    obj= ctx.lookup("ejb/NewSessionBean");
    NamingEnumeration ne = ctx.listBindings("ejb");
    while (ne.hasMore()) {
    System.out.println("Binding: " + ne.next());
    System.out.println("object name"+obj.getClass().getName());
    System.out.println("object class loader"+obj.getClass().getClassLoader());
    NewSessionRemoteHome home=(NewSessionRemoteHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj,NewSessionRemoteHome.class);
    System.out.println("Interface name: "+home.getClass().getName());
    NewSessionRemote remo=home.create();
    System.out.println("Remote name: "+remo.getClass().getName());
    remo.printText("Welcome"); //the message send by the client
    } catch (Exception ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
    but it uses J2SE Util. Is there any other workaround to do?

  • Help!!!I can not pass the Logger example of Rmi-iiOP

    I am using the j2sdk1.4.0 and j2sdkee1.3.1 as back ground.And use Win2000
    I try the rmi-iiop example given by Sun.But it doesn't work.
    Firstly , compile Logger.java LoggerHome.java LogMessage.java LoggerEJB.java to class
    javac -classpath "c:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar;c:\wytestejb\" Logger.java LoggerHome.java LogMessage.java LoggerEJB.java
    that was ok.
    Then I draw idl from that just like
    rmic -idl -noValueMethods -classpath "c:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar;c:\wytestejb\" Logger LoggerHome
    then I got Logger.idl LoggerHome.idl javax\ejb\...idl java\lang\...idl
    After that I create one directory named client.copying all idl file into it,I transfered idl to java using
    idlj -i C:\j2sdk1.4.0\lib -i c:\wytestejb\client -i C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib -emitAll -fclient Logger.idl
    idlj -i C:\j2sdk1.4.0\lib -i c:\wytestejb\client -i C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib -emitAll -fclient LoggerHome.idl
    Then I got *.java such as Logger.java LoggerHome.java .....java java\lang\***.class javax\ejb\****.class
    I put the LogClient.java in this directory and compile *.java like
    C:\wytestejb\client>javac -classpath "c:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar;c:\wytestejb\
    client;c:\j2sdk1.4.0\lib;c:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin" *.java

    By the way
    My java file is as
    Logger.java
    The file Logger.java is the enterprise bean's remote interface, and as such, it extends EJBObject . A remote interface provides the remote client view of an EJB object and defines the business methods callable by a remote client.
    //Code Example 1: Logger.java
    package ejbinterop;
    import javax.ejb.EJBObject;
    import java.rmi.RemoteException;
    * Accepts simple String log messages and prints
    * them on the server.
    public interface Logger extends EJBObject
    * Logs the given message on the server with
    * the current server time.
    void logString(String message) throws RemoteException;
    LoggerHome.java
    The file LoggerHome.java extends EJBHome . The EJBHome interface must be extended by all EJB component's remote home interfaces. A home interface defines the methods that allow a remote client to create, find, and remove EJB objects, as well as home business methods that are not specific to an EJB instance.
    //Code Example 2: LoggerHome.java
    package ejbinterop;
    import java.rmi.RemoteException;
    import javax.ejb.EJBHome;
    import javax.ejb.CreateException;
    public interface LoggerHome extends EJBHome
    Logger create() throws RemoteException, CreateException;
    LoggerEJB.java
    The file LoggerEJB.java contains the code for a session bean. A session bean is an enterprise bean that is created by a client and that usually exists only for the duration of a single client-server session. A session bean performs operations such as calculations or accessing a database for the client. In this example, the enterprise bean accepts simple String log messages from the client and prints them on the server.
    //LoggerEJB.java
    package ejbinterop;
    import javax.ejb.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import java.rmi.*;
    import java.io.*;

    public void setSessionContext(SessionContext sc) {}
    * Logs the given message on the server with
    * the current server time.
    public void logString(String message) {
    LogMessage msg = new LogMessage(message);
    System.out.println(msg);
    LogMessage.java
    The file LogMessage.java takes the current date and time, creates a formatted String showing the message, and prints the message to the server.
    //LogMessage.java
    package ejbinterop;
    import java.io.Serializable;
    import java.util.Date;
    import java.text.*;

  • Rmi iiop http ?

    Hi,
    I'd like to have some precisions about the communication between a
    remote java fat client and a weblogic ejb container.
    We should use RMI, but what is the protocol we have to use : RMI IIOP
    or HTTP
    Can we wrap rmi with http ?
    thanks in advance

    You can use RMI over t3(weblogic specific) or IIOP.
    Please take a look at http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/rmi_iiop/index.html

  • RMI/IIOP vs CORBA ?

    Is there any difference in what you can do with a CORBA implementation as opposed to an RMI/IIOP implementation? Is there anything that can be done in one and not the other? Or were the org.omg.CORBA libraries just a fill-in until the RMI/IIOP framework was developed?
    Josh

    Hello Sylviae,
    I would not put the answer, as quite as what you have.
    "RMI/IIOP is a superset of CORBA that is Java specific."
    I do not agree with the above statement, as CORBA is more poweful than RMI/IIOP and a comparison will not be accurate. The architecture of CORBA, in my opinion is quite superior to that of RMI and quite distinct.
    "then CORBA can make this work, albeit with less flexibility"
    On the other hand, the vision with which CORBA started, stated flexibility as a key agreement. CORBA does offer excellent flexibility. What you could be correct in saying, is that, CORBA solutions are difficult to maintain and expensive to construct. As opposed to this, RMI/IIOP (or the framework) provides an easier means to achieve the same.
    In any case, RMI over IIOP is actually yet to be proven on mission critical infrastructure. Where CORBA has peformed excellently.
    Nice day to you.

  • Corba,RMI and RMI-IIOP

    Can someone help me understand and analyze the marshaling techniques of CORBA, RMI and RMI-IIOP??

    RMI/JRMP is easy, just read the RMI Specification:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/rmi/spec/rmi-protocol.html
    CORBA is not so easy. Find the GIOP and IIOP specifications at http://www.omg.org

  • RMI-IIOP and CORBA version

    Hello all,
    I am new to CORBA (I understand the concepts, but have never actually programmed anything with it).
    I need to write some software in Java that talks to an existing system that has CORBA interfaces. It seems to me that using RMI-IIOP will be a good solution, but in the RMI-IIOP documentation, I have read that it will only work with CORBA version 2.3.
    The existing system works with CORBA version 2.0 (as far as I know). Does this mean that I will not be able to use RMI-IIOP at all, or are there some workarounds to get it working with CORBA 2.0?
    What would be my alternatives if I cannot use RMI-IIOP because of the version difference?
    regards
    Jesper

    Hi
    I have not tried that kombination myself so can not tell you about workarounds, I can tell you that the main difference, in respect to Java, between 2.0 and 2.3 is that the Objects by Value protocoll is incorporated into CORBA 2.3. This extension was specifically designed and added to make RMI-IIOP possible, or atleast more user friendly.
    The first workaround I would try is making comunicaitons interfaces built from only basic variable types, but I can not say if it would work. Besides if you are not defining new interfaces (IDL files) you will probably have to work with Java IDL anyway since RMI-IIOP (atleast in jdk1.3) seemed like a one way conversion, Java -> IDL.
    Hope this helps

  • Rmi-iiop authentication and EJB

    In WL6.1, I have an Ejb with secured methods. The (Swing) client application accesses the Ejb through rmi-iiop using the JDK1.3.1 Orb.
    Unfortunately, it seems that the caller identity (which was supplied in the InitialContext lookup) is not propagated
    to the server: any call to a secured method
    fails with a CORBA NO_PERMISSION Exception.
    Using the t3 protocol the program works fine, but that would require the 25Mb weblogic.jar on all clients, which is unattainable for us.
    Any ideas how this situation can be corrected?
    -Allard Siemelink

    Hello Allard,
    My only suggestion (and you have probably looked at this already) would be to
    use the Verbosetozip utility, refer to http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61////adminguide/utils.html#1117405
    for more information.

  • RMI-IIOP client - CORBA Server

    I already have a CORBA server in C++ which has already been written. I am trying to develop an RMI-IIOP client which would talk to this CORBA Server.
    The CORBA server has several interfaces that I would like to use with my RMI-IIOP client. How do I proceed?? Can somebody give me an example of an RMI-IIOP client? Basically my question is: how do I take the IDL and build an RMI-IIOP client with it???

    Hello
    I already have a CORBA server in C++ which has already
    been written. I am trying to develop an RMI-IIOP
    client which would talk to this CORBA Server.
    The CORBA server has several interfaces that I would
    like to use with my RMI-IIOP client. How do I
    proceed?? Can somebody give me an example of an
    RMI-IIOP client? Basically my question is: how do I
    take the IDL and build an RMI-IIOP client with it???The steps to do are the following:
    * Creating the Remote interface
    * Using the rmic compiler to genarate the IDL and the client stub.
    * Generating stub and skeleton of the C++ server using that IDL (the one you already made is no longer compatible)
    * Bulding up the new C++ server
    * Using a nameservice (tnameserver for example) and binding your server to that.
    * Writing the RMI-IIOP client
    I proceeded like this (using Visibroker 4.5 on the server side) and I was able to do it... but as you can see from my last post, I wasn't able to pass Strings from the client to the server.
    Bye

    Good point, I do belive what you are referring to is this:
    Any client, whether running inside a server or not, has EJB security properties. Table 15-2 lists the EJB client security properties controlled by the ejb_sec.properties file. By default, OC4J searches for this file in the current directory when running as a client, or in ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config when running in the server. You can specify the location of this file explicitly with the system property setting -Dejb_sec_properties_location=pathname.
    Table 15-2 EJB Client Security Properties
    Property Meaning
    # oc4j.iiop.keyStoreLoc
    The path and name of the keystore. An absolute path is recommended.
    # oc4j.iiop.keyStorePass
    The password for the keystore.
    # oc4j.iiop.trustStoreLoc
    The path name and name of the truststore. An absolute path is recommended.
    # oc4j.iiop.trustStorePass
    The password for the truststore.
    # oc4j.iiop.enable.clientauth
    Whether the client supports client-side authentication. If this property is set to true, you must specify a keystore location and password.
    # oc4j.iiop.ciphersuites
    Which cipher suites are to be enabled. The valid cipher suites are:
    TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5
    SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5
    TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
    SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
    TLS_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5
    SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5
    TLS_DHE_DSS_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA
    SSL_DHE_DSS_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA
    nameservice.useSSL
    Whether to use SSL when making the initial connection to the server.
    client.sendpassword
    Whether to send user name and password in clear form (unencrypted) in the service context when not using SSL. If this property is set to true, the user name and password are sent only to servers listed in the trustedServer list.
    oc4j.iiop.trustedServers
    A list of servers that can be trusted to receive passwords sent in clear form. This has no effect if client.sendpassword is set to false. The list is comma-delimited. Each entry in the list can be an IP address, a host name, a host name pattern (for example, *.example.com), or * (where "*" alone means that all servers are trusted.

  • Screwey rmi-iiop behavior

    I got the rmi-iiop example code to work just fine, but I tried extending
    it a little and strangeness ensues. Here's what I did:
    I'm using a stock weblogic 6.0 install on solaris 8 (sparc). I added
    the following new method to the Trader interface:
    public void func(javax.naming.Name n) throws RemoteException;
    and I added the implementation of that method to TraderBean like so:
    public void func(javax.naming.Name n) {
    System.out.prinltn("n [" + n + "]");
    I then added a call to the new Trader function to the end of the
    example() method in Client, just before the trader is removed:
    try {
    com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapName lname =
    new com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapName("a=b");
    trader.func(lname);
    } catch (javax.naming.NamingException ne) {
    ne.printStackTrace();
    Then I compiled everything using the supplied build.sh, copied the
    ejb_over_iiop.jar into config/mydomain/applications, and ran
    startWebLogic.sh int the config/mydomain directory to start the server.
    I then run the client like so (using the 1.3 java version included with
    weblogic 6.0):
    java -cp
    /opt/bea/wlserver6.0/config/examples/clientclasses:/opt/bea/wlserver6.0/config/mydomain/applications:/opt/bea/wlserver6.0/lib/weblogic.jar
    examples.rmi_iiop.ejb.rmi_iiop.Client iiop://localhost:7001
    And I get the following output:
    Beginning statelessSession.Client...
    Creating a trader
    Buying 100 shares of BEAS.
    Buying 200 shares of MSFT.
    Buying 300 shares of AMZN.
    Buying 400 shares of HWP.
    Selling 100 shares of BEAS.
    Selling 200 shares of MSFT.
    Selling 300 shares of AMZN.
    Selling 400 shares of HWP.
    There was an exception while creating and using the Trader.
    This indicates that there was a problem communicating with the server:
    java.rmi.RemoteException: CORBA UNKNOWN 0 No; nested exception is:
    org.omg.CORBA.UNKNOWN: minor code: 0 completed: No
    End statelessSession.Client...
    Basically the call to the new method fails, and the server communication
    error it produces doesn't provide much information. So question #1 is,
    what's going on here?
    And here's the really weird part: if I change the method signatures in
    Trader and TraderBean so that the argument type is the concrete class
    com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapName instead of the interface javax.naming.Name
    (which does extend java.io.Serializable, incidentally), it works fine!
    I tried this with my own interfaces and concrete classes, and I get the
    same strange behavior: calling methods with interface argument types on
    the ejb via rmi-iiop fails with the above cryptic error, but methods
    with concrete argument types work fine.
    I also tried this out on a non-ejb rmi-iiop server object using jdk 1.3
    but not weblogic. In that case both interfaces and concrete method
    argument types work just fine.
    Now I'm wondering if this could be a bug in weblogic.ejbc's iiop
    generation. Can anyone else verify this problem?

    Marshaling through the interface apparently fails. What orb are you using on the client?
