| </para> |
| <para> |
| Jini is a technology for implementing Service Oriented Architectures |
| based on the concept of Java proxies to services. The fundamental idea |
| is that service consumers are implemented in Java. In order to use a service, |
| the consumer loads a serialized proxy from a lookup service, or Registrar. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| Since the proxy is loaded using Java dynamic class loading, it can implement |
| any protocol required by the service implementation. As a result, Jini services |
| do not depend on any particular protocol, and each service is free to |
| choose a protocol and implementation options that suit the service. |
