Jini intro (1/3) Jini is a technology that is based on Java and Tcp-IP and that, using net protocols, allows to put in communication different objects between they in an only one network.

Jini intro (2/3) In practical, every time that a new device comes connected to the circuit, before announces who is and what is in a position to making and then it explains as it must be used, through it’s interface.

Jini intro (3/3) • As an example a printer, in the moment in which it is connected to a Jini community, before will be introduced and then it will as an example expose to its interface, containing the service print. • If subsequently a Jini refrigerator must have need to print a page, it will be sufficient that it goes to search who, in the community, puts to disposition the service print and then to demand the execution.

Service (1/3) • A service can be computation, memory, a communication channel, a dispositive hardware, or an other customer. • Two examples of services are: to print a document and translate a document from a format to an other. • A system of Jini would not have to be believed like with about clients and server, or customers and programs, or programs and databases, rather, a Jini system consists to accomplish one particular operation.

Service (2/3) The dynamics nature of a Jini system allows to the services of being added or withdraws to you anytime. Jini supplies the mechanisms for the construction, the search, the communication and the use of the services of the distributed system.

Service (3/3) • The services in a Jini system communicate between they using a protocol, that it is with of interfaces written in the language of Java programming.

Lookup Service (1) • The services are find from the Lookup Service, which it is not other that a table containing the interfaces that describe the functionalities of the present services in the Jini community.

Lookup Service (2) • In adding are stored attributes, that they serve in order to specify in more complete way the service. Typical attributes are the name, the description and the location.

Lookup Service (3) • A service is added to the Lookup Service using two protocols calls to you discovery and join: in the first place the service characterizes the Lookup Service (using the protocol discovery) and then it joins to it (using the protocol join).

Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) (1/2) • The communication between the services happens using Remote Method Invocation (RMI) supplied from Java. RMI not only allows to transfer gives to you from an object to other through the net, but also complete objects, comprised the code.

Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) (2/2) • Great part of the semplicity of the Jini system is concurred from this ability to move the code, encapsulated in to the object , through the net.

Leasing (1/4) • The access to many of the services in to the environment Jini is based on the leasing. A leasing is one concession of access guaranteed for a sure period of time.

Leasing (2/4) • Every leasing is negotiates between the petitioner and the supplier of the service: – a service is asked for a sure period; – the access it is assigned for a sure time, possibly holding in consideration the demanded period.

Leasing (3/4) • If a leasing is not renewed before that it is exausted, or because the resource is not more necessary, or client or the net comes to lack, or it is not allowed with the leasing of being renewed, then the resource can be freed.

Leasing (4/4) • The leasing can be of two types: exclusive or not exclusive; • exclusive assure that no other can use the resource (to obtain an other leasing) during the period of the leasing, those, instead, • not exclude, allows a shared use to you of the resource (is granted more leasing on the same resource).

Transactions (1/3) • A series of operations, to the inside of single service or reported more services, can be inglobate in one transaction. A transaction is indivisible in unity of execution; therefore or the operations of a transaction come executed all, or the transaction must not have some effect on the system.

Transactions (2/3) • In particular Jini in order to guarantee a transaction uses the protocol of commit to two is made (two-phase commit). Such protocol remembers, in its essential lines, a wedding, the decision of two persons comes ratified collection and from a third person, that it celebrates the wedding.

Transactions (3/3) • So that the wedding has place, is necessary that both the participants express their will to marry themselves; celebrating, during the first phase, collects desire to marry itself separately, express from the two participants, in order then, in a second phase, to give they news that the wedding has happened.

Events • The Jini architecture supports the distributed events. • An object can allow that other objects are recorded to particular events of the object and receive a notification in the case happen such event.

Components (1/3) • The members of a Jini system can be segmetated in three categories the infrastructure, the model of programming and the services. The infrastructure is with of the members whom the development of the federation system Jini allows, while the services are the entities to the inside of the federation.

Components (2/3) • The programming model the set of the interfaces that the construction of reliable services allows, comprised those that make part of the infrastructure and those that join the federation. • These three categories, although distinguished and separable, are interlaced to such point that their distinction can seem little clear.

Components (3/3) • Is possible to develop systems that they have some of the functionalities of the Jini system with of varying in all and the three categories.

The infrastructure • The technological infrastructure of Jini includes the following: a distributed security system, integrated with RMI, that extends the model of emergency of the Java platform to the world of the distributed systems; discovery and join protocols, service protocols that concur with the service to discover, become part, and inform the other members of the federation; lookup service, that serve like a warehouse of services, it's a table where the lines are objects written in Java.

The infrastructure (1/2) • The technological infrastructure of Jini includes the following: a distributed security system, integrated with RMI, that extends the model of emergency of the Java platform to the world of the distributed systems; discovery and join protocols, service protocols that concur with the service to discover, become part, and inform the other members of the federation; lookup service, that serve like a warehouse of services, it's a table where the lines are objects written in Java.

The programming model • The interfaces that compose the model of programming of Jini are the following: – leasing interface: it defines a way in order to allot and free the resources using a rinnovabile model and based on the duration; – event and notification interface: they are an extension of the model of event used in the Java. Beans members for distributed systems, they allow the communication based on the events between Jini services; – transaction interface: allows a group of services to cooperate second the approach of the transactions in such way that the change made from the group happens in atomic way.

Discovery Join & Lookup (1/5) • The heart of the Jini system is a trio of protocols called discovery, join, and lookup. A pair of these protocols—discovery and join—occur when a device is plugged in.

Discovery Join & Lookup (2/5) • Discovery occurs when a service is looking for a lookup service with which to register. • Join occurs when a service has located a lookup service and wishes to join it. • Lookup occurs when a client or user needs to locate and invoke aservice described by its interface type (written in the Java programming language) and possibly other attributes.
