In Max's book it states
"We are assuming that there can be several instances of DVDDatabase class and that they will need a mechanism for coordination" i.e. multiple instances of DVDDatabase, one per Client.
My question is this :
When using RMI am I right in thinking that only one instance of DVDDatabase will be created. I know (well I believe) that RMI will pass out a proxy of this class, but it is still only ever one instance of DVDDatabase
Why, then does it say in the book that there could be many instances of DVD Database.
I'm sure the book is correct (great help by the way), but could someone help me clear up this issue of when more than one instance of a DVDDatabase would be created - please?
Thanks very much
Phil
