Java EE and SOA worlds are denying the existence of Jini
Hi,
I've been desperately looking for a spec compliant way to call Jini Services out of a Stateless Session Bean (SLSB). I've been looking for some kind of SOAP proxy, too. Results: ZERO.
I can't believe that nobody had the need to call a Jini Service from a Java EE application before.
And also the SOA world does not seem to have any JBI components to allow Java EE applications to call such services.
Now me and my team are developing a JCA 1.5 compliant Jini Connector allowing SLSBs to call Jini Services. I will keep you in touch and probably we will open source the results.
The idea is to implement a Jini Service Proxy which is called by the connector. The proxy gets the information which service is to be called. This way we don't have any dependencies of any Jini Services in the connector. Only one dependency: the proxy service itself.
Cheers.
