Beginer In RMI

hello,
i m beginer in RMI, i want to learn RMI with proper way. is there any tutorial or a book like Head First for RMI???
and at what type of action we performed in RMI in our real world application???

I'd start by asking yourself *why* you want to learn RMI. Although it has some advantages in specific areas, these are in my view outweighed by its disadvantages, especially given the ready availability of solid web services stacks these days. What kind of problem do you envision tackling with RMI that couldn't be handled at least as well using via web services?

i just want learn learn RMI, because want to to develop a client server application by using swing and core java............
is there another better option instead of RMI???
or how we create a client server application by using core java???

As I said, these days you would use web services for what you might have used RMI for 10 years ago.

Nowadays Web Services are used everywhere because web services is all about exposing and consuming XML..
web services are platform independent.. which means.. Google can make their app with which ever language they wish.. and you just have to know the URL:PORT:Service_Names to consume their services..

RMI is part of Java Networking programming( correct me if i am wrong) and hence many books are there such as:: Java RMI By William Grosso from O'reilly.

Goodluck,
Simple

Nowadays Web Services are used everywhere because web services is all about exposing and consuming XML.

Let's not forget RESTful services that are more likely to exchange JSON. SOAP is not the first choice for implementing web services any more.

Web Services are better in many cases, but if you have 100% control of your environment, and want a quick and easy solution, RMI is worth considering.

Have you gone through the RMI Trail in The Java Tutorials?
