Compared to other
java technologies jini is much less active. I want to work with jini for distribute computing but a have found very few active projects using jini. Maybe I just looked in the wrong place but even I found that there are project to generate a java spaces api without the jini stuff. The jini.org site looks really fine but when I tried out the tutorials and examples, I found that they are out of date of the current jini distribution. The examples ran fine in a local machine but when I tried to run them in a distributed way the connections didn�t succeed. I converted to rmi objects and did the same thing and worked just fine. I think I miss configured something but after three days didn�t get the correct configuration following the site instructions step by step.
Would you recommend me to use rather plane rmi to do the distributed stuff? I mean jini concept sounds as just the api to use in distributed environments but I can�t invest a lot of time in a project if there isn�t a strong community supporting jini.
