Abstract
The CDC is expressly for devices with always-on or nearly always-on connections to the Internet. CDC devices offer great potential for network programming, because the demands of limited resources are balanced by a reliable network connection. Java’s support for Remote Method Invocation (RMI) provides a programming model that is a welcome alternative to the lightweight model provided by web services. (Ironically, the RMI model in large part predates the move to web services, as it’s based on the remote procedure call semantics developed at Sun and popularized in a variety of remote computing initiatives.)
