RMI Insights | Sumble

What is RMI?

Remote Method Invocation (RMI) is a Java API that allows an object running in one Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to invoke methods on an object running in a different JVM. It enables distributed computing by allowing Java programs to access and interact with remote services and objects as if they were local.
