which one:rmi, rpc, webservice, cleint server
Hello
Sun developed RMI and Java RPC for java.
I have not so much experience with both of them but from what i see and what i read they are not widely spread. In my environment there is nobody how could tell me who and which industry use them.
But since the web services get more and more use in praxis i think the RMI has not more a usability?
And what about the RPC, is RPC really good alternative to build client server application in praxis?
thanks

'Java RPC for Java' must be JAX-RPC which is nothing but SOAP or WebServices, so two of the four things you're talking about are the same. Client-server applies to RMI and WebServices as well as a lot of other technologies, so that cuts it down to RMI or Web Services. You should add int RMI/IIOP which is very heavily used, being the underlying transport for J2EE.
All three are very much alive. The choice is yours. RMI is a lightweight solution for use within a LAN; RMI/IIOP is a similar-weight solution for use in J2EE or enterprises; SOAP/WebServices is a very heavyweight solution for use across the Internet.
