Viral RMI API

Networking & Multiplayer
#1

Hello !
For my own need, I’m doing a “Viral RMI API” .
Dont freak out ! “Viral” is a word i choosed, because of the particularity of my engine.
Imagine that the network gives you a proxy to an object implementing a special interface which has a “addObserver(Observer e)” function, with Observer an interface.
You can retrieve the function from the network , and use it on a local object. Your computer will do some magick stuff, and on the remote computer, operations done on “e” will be done on your local object.

On the server side, its really simple; all you have is to register the objects in a API (this is really simple, all you need is to associate your Class to an object that can convert a User into a instance of your Class

I’m interrested in if someone would like to test or just have fun with my engine.
I’m going to use it, i already know some of its flaws in the design (It relies on client-side garbage collector…).
So if someone can have fun with it, i would be glad to share and discuss about that.

Here it goes !

It’s still in developpement, but for now, i can manage to have a descent file sharing system that handles custom URLs .

If someone is interrested, raise a hand and i may share my JAR :stuck_out_tongue:
Or if someone knows something that does the same as my API, i may look into it :smiley:

Throw it on bitbucket or github. This is the sort of library people are only ever going to use as source. And not to discourage your efforts, but remoting APIs are hard – if you’re not aware of similar projects already, you might need to invest more time. Still, if you want to keep at it, that’s where eyeballs on the source will help.
