What Is Jini?
Jini is not just a programming model. It's a lifestyle! A Java-based architecture for developing service-oriented distributed applications is defined in the Jini Specification. This programming model allows the creation of secure, distributed systems composed of well-behaved network services. Jini helps build scalable and flexible networks, which are required attributes in distributed computing scenarios. Jini is also a new way of living your life—a lifestyle for people who want more from their days than just waking up, going to work, and coming home again. It's for people who want to be part of something bigger than themselves—a community of like-minded individuals who want to build scalable and flexible networks. Jini, the future of computing. It's not just a river in Egypt. It's a new way of thinking about using computers and the Internet. Jini is based on an idea that's been around for a while: that we should move away from a disk-drive-oriented approach to computing, where we have one computer on our desk and lots of other computers out there somewhere—to a network-adaptive process, where all of the resources are available over the network and look like, they're local. Jini makes this possible by developing scalable, evolvable and flexible dynamic computing environments. In other words, it creates resources over a network that looks like local resources. Jini may also be referred to as Apache River. Jini is one of the most feature-rich networks, with desirable features and facilities like non-protocol dependence, code mobility, and network-wide detection of hardware devices. It's also straightforward to use. You need to connect a printer or other device to your network. Without rebooting, it will automatically be detected by your computer (and any other computer on the web). Jini allows the addition of printers, storage and other devices to a network. The key concept here is code mobility—Jini enables these additions to devices on the web to detect themselves over that same network without rebooting! Beginning your journey into the world of Jini today is not a moment to be lost! Now is the time to start!
