Question

I am creating a simple distributed system using RMI and CORBA.

I have a main server which redirects to another two servers.

The client sends request to the main server which redirects to the other two servers.

The problem is that I cannot make the connection between the main server and the other two.

I made a research and I found that i need an object inside the main server that get the requests from the client and has a references to proxy object 1 and 2(which are actually the other two servers), my actual question is how should I create this proxy object(I will appreciated if you give me an example or a link).

Answer 1

Assuming your Server1 implements Interface1 and your Server2 implements Interface2, now in order to connect to these two servers you will need to lookup and get a reference.

First you will need to register Server1 and Server2, say in the main method of Server1 you did this :

Naming.rebind('server1', new MyServer());

then in order to get a reference of Server1 in your MainServer you will do something like this:

Interface1 server1 = Naming.lookup("rmi://localhost//server1);
