Abstract

Java class loading plays a key role in the Java Remote Method Invocation (Java RMI) and Jini architectures by enabling code mobility over the network. However, it has also saddled these architectures with a set of type compatibility and code downloading issues that commonly result in run-time errors and programmer confusion. This paper describes the Java RMI class loading model and examines its ramifications.
