Abstract
Middleware interceptors are a well-recognized powerful technique that enables the extensions of the middleware functionality in a way transparent to both the existing middleware implementations and the distributed applications built on top of them. In recent CORBA specifications, OMG has provided the standard specification of portable interceptors. This specification determined the interception service that any CORBA implementation should provide. As a well-known middleware however, Java RMI did not offer the interception mechanism. Based on our experiment, we address in this paper, the architectural and design issues on embedding interception service into the existing implementation of Java RMI from SUN Microsystems. Our interception service follows the style and the functionality of CORBA interception service to support request portable interceptors.
