Hi All,
I am looking for IPC (Inter Process Communication) features in Java, i am novice in Java technology and am looking for features lile Messsage queues or shared memory to have peer to peer messaging asynchronosly. I would appreciate any direction the forum can offer.
I have been reading about JMS but i got an impression that it is geared for J2EE platform and i am using J2SE.
Thanks for your time
Chandra

The most lightweight solution is probably RMI.

Not without extra infrastructure. It depends on your needs. Nothing prevents you from implementing a single queue, based on a LinkedList for example, at one end of your RMI connection. For more elaborate needs, you would quickly be looking at JMS. This would range from lightweight in-memory JMS implementations which you could expose using RMI to enterprise-level JMS implementations backed by a filestore or RDBMS.
