Is there a better technology than Apacher River (Jini) for Remote Procedure Calls?

I am planning to do a simple Remote Procedure Call (RPM) over the web and I am currently using WebSockets. I was wondering if Jini is better than WebSockets or if there is a newer API or framework for Java to do RPC.

Solution

  • WebSockets and Jini are the main ones of note, both have their pluses and minuses. I'd say WebSockets is great just for the sheer amount of examples and documentation lying about. Jini is a lot different than WebSockets - so if anything the overheard of learning how to use it may not be worth it; that is up to you to evaluate, I spose.
