 CHAT SERVER
The Chat Server is a software which
allows exchange of information between
two or more then two clients
It is an good example showing a small
model of how messages can be send
from one user to another
 CHAT SERVER
ADVANTAGES OF THE PROJECT :-
 Provides a good graphical interface to the
user to chat to its neighbouring computers.

 No need of typing the command again &

again at the command-prompt.
 CHAT SERVER
Useful features of JAVA used are RMI
(Remote Method Invocation) and Applet
Viewer.

R.M.I.

 Remote Method Invocation.

 One JVM invokes methods located in
another JVM.
 It is an easy alternative of using Server-
Socket programming & Multi-threading
 CHAT SERVER
R.M.I.

 Implemented on the Middle-Tier of the 3-

Tier Architecture.

2 Components of distributed RMI
application :-

 RMI server
 RMI client

TRANSPORT LAYER
TRANSPORT LAYER
 STUB/SKELETON LAYER
 It listens to remote method calls made by
a client & redirects it to the remote RMI
services on the Server.
 STUB
 Client side proxy representing remote
object.
 It communicates method invocations to
the remote object through Skeleton
(implemented on Server.)
 SKELETON
It is server side proxy that continues
communication with Stub by:-
 Reading parameters of method call.
 Making the call to the remote service
implementation object.
 Accepting return value.
 Writing the return value back to the Stub.
REMOTE REFERENCE LAYER
 Interprets & manages references made by
a Client to remote object on the server.
 Its main function is that of Marshalling.

MARSHALLING :-Process in which

parameters passed by Client are
converted to a format that can be
transferred across a network.
 TRANSPORT LAYER
 Link between RRL on Server side & RRL
on Client side.
 Responsible for setting up new
connections & managing existing
connections.

interface used to implement remote
objects, stubs,skeletons & support for rmi
communication
