Abstract
Java-based distributed applications generally use RMI(Remote Method Invocation)for accessing remote objects. When used in a wide-area environment, the performance of such applications can be poor because of the high latency of RMI. This latency can be reduced by caching objects at the client node. However, the use of caching introduces other issues, including the expense of caching the object as well as the expense of managing the consistency of the object. This paper presents a middleware for object caching in Java RMI-based distributed applications. The mechanisms used by the middleware are fully compatible with Java RMI and are transparent to the clients. Using this middleware, the system designer can select the caching strategy and consistency protocol most appropriate for theaplication. The paper illustrates the benefits of using these mechanisms to improve the performance of RMI applications.
