History of Jini
• Sun R&D project (Bill Joy, and Jim Waldo
with Ann Wollrath, theinventor/designer of RMI, Ken
Arnold, the designer of JavaSpaces, and Bob Schleifer,
designer of Lookup/Discovery).
• Mid-1960‘s: David Gelernter
(Yale) developed a programming
language called LINDA
(http://www.cs.yale.edu/HTML/YALE/CS/Linda/linda.ht
ml)
Linda and JavaSpaces
• JavaSpaces: implementation of the
ideas behind LINDA but greater use
of recent advances in object
technology, namely Java.
• ``The work at Yale focused mainly on data, but today
we can just move objects in and out of JavaSpaces [. .
.] JavaSpaces is essentially a facility for
communicating tasks out and bringing jobs back''
(James Gosling).
Drivers of Transition to the
Networked Age
• Increased network
bandwidth
• Bandwidth is pervasive —
increase in the number of
wired/ wireless networks
• Inexpensive processing power
(systems on a chip)
• Software based on objects and
agents
Ten Megatrends
Services – not applications
Wireless > Internet > PC markets
eMarketPlaces
Content => service => device
Network centric development
Focus on business logic and accessibility
Capacity planning is an oxymoron
Supply chain integration and auctioning as
examples of new business model
9. Everything is mission critical
10. Simplicity!

The big transition
• From our product centric industry
to a service centric industry
• Products (and content?) will
metamorphose into services
• Light bulb ->
illumination lease
Big Questions
How rich does the set of
network-supported
services become?
How can we interoperate
without a PhD in
networking?
The Quest For
Connectivity
Jini technology, based on Java technology,
enables digital services to simply connect together.
What is Jini?
• Software layer (48kB) to
describe services to the net
• Runs on all Java Virtual Machines
(JVM) on any device (from mainframe
to toaster)
• Only the Front-End of the service is
transmitted---Distributed Computing
• End of all Protocols as we know them
• Resilience: does not assume that
networks always work
Jini Technology Enables
You to Simply Connect
Introduces Simple, Powerful New Concepts
•
•
•
•
Instant On
– Plug it in and it just works, no fuss, hassle free
Impromptu community
– Create your personal community of devices and services — at
home, in the office, or on the road — and interact with other
communities quickly and easily
Resilient
– Your Jini community maintains itself & adapts to change
– Your Jini community is always available
– The Service Age allows the system to be more tolerant and
redundant
Special delivery
– Services are available on demand

The Philosophy Behind Jini
Technology
• Simplicity: Less is more
–
–
–
–
Small code base
No complicated OS
Everything is an object
Use RMI to extend objects to remote resources
• Self-healing networks
– System restores state after failures
– Resilience
• Community
– Easy access to Jini technology
– Anyone can join the Jini community
Jini Technology Principles
• Everything is an object
• Distributed system is just a
distributed program
• Java Class Hierarchy describes
devices/services
• Mobile Code via Remote Method
Invocation
• Leasing and distributed garbage
collection provides self-healing
• Individual devices/services can be
simple, don’t require a Java Virtual
Machine
• Services available on demand

Jini Technology Infrastructure:
Discovery & Join
Innovative Solution for Finding the Place to Start in an Unknown Network
Discover (find) and join a community of Jini technology-enabled
devices
Advertise its capabilities
Provide any required software and attributes – no drivers
required
Requires only one Java Virtual Machine on the network
Send out a multicast packet with reference to yourself
Receive a RMI reference to the Lookup Service
Jini Technology Infrastructure: Lookup Service
Binds the Jini Community Together
Repository of available services
Stores service as extensible set of Java application objects
ID, interface, GUI’s, attributes, drivers...
Service objects downloaded as required
May be federated with other lookup services
Lookup Service interface
Registration, Access, Search, Removal
Jini Technology Infrastructure: Moving Code
Uses Java Technology Remote Method Invocation (RMI)
Basic communication mechanism between components
in a Jini system
Secure ability to find, activate, and garbage collect
objects
Allows data as well as code to be passed from object to
object
Jini Technology Programming Model:
Leasing
Provides Method of Managing Resources in a Networked Environment
Protocol for managing resources using a
renewable, duration based model
Contract between objects
Resources can be shared or nonshared
Jini Technology Programming Model:
Transactions
Enables Distributed Entities to Cooperate
Designed for distributed object conversations
Light weight, object-oriented
Supports subset levels of ACID properties
Supports nested transactions
Uses leasing protocol
Jini Technology Programming Model:
Distributed Events
Addresses Peculiarities of Messages in the Networked Environment
Extends Java platform event model to allow it to work in a
distributed network
Register interest, receive notification
Allows for easy use of event managers
Can use numerous distributed delivery models: Push, pull, filter ...
Uses leasing protocol
Jini Technology Infrastructure: Distributed
Security
Builds on the Java Virtual Machine
Jini distributed security adds notion of principal and access
control lists
Jini services are accessed on behalf of a principle which
traces back to a particular user/device
Access to a service depends on the access control list
associated with that service
Jini Technology Services:
JavaSpaces™ Technology
May be Used to Implement a Large Number of Distributed Computing Patterns
Shared, “dynamic memory” for networked Java Virtual Machines
Helps federate the network of Java Virtual Machines
Provides simple, dynamic object persistence
Facilitates alternative messaging patterns
