The basic RMI implementation in Java

package com.my.study.rmi;

 * Entity must implements Serializable interface
 */
public class Person implements Serializable {

	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

	private int id;

	private String name;

	public int getId() {
		return id;
	}

	public void setId(int id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}
}

 

package com.my.study.rmi;

import java.rmi.Remote;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;

/*
 * 1, Interface must extend Remote, 
 * 2, All functions must throw RemoteException
 */
public interface IPersonService extends Remote {
	Person findPersonById(int id) throws RemoteException;
}

 

package com.my.study.rmi;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject;

/*
 * Implementation must extends UnicastRemoteObject
 */
public class PersonServiceImpl extends UnicastRemoteObject implements
		IPersonService {

	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

	public PersonServiceImpl() throws RemoteException {
	}

	public Person findPersonById(int id) throws RemoteException {
		Person p = new Person();
		p.setId(id);
		p.setName("XiaoMing");
		return p;
	}
}

 

package com.my.study.rmi;

import java.rmi.Naming;
import java.rmi.registry.LocateRegistry;

public class Server {
	public static void main(String[] args) {

	}
}

 

package com.my.study.rmi;
