Zusammenfassung
One of the benefits of Java is the ability to write GUI-interfaces for legacy services in a platform independent way. These Java front-ends allow for a seamless integration of these existing services into an intranet or even the whole internet. However, while Java was designed for network connectivity it initially suffered from a lack of supported middleware solutions. The current approach of integrating RMI and CORBA can be considered as an obvious sign for the need of this kind of integrating technology. However, even with this integration on its way, still a very large base of installed RPC systems, namely all services based on ONC (Open Network Computing) RPC, are still not covered. In order to fill this gap RPC for Java (JRPC) has been developed as the first full ONC RPC binding for Java. This paper describes the design and the implementation of this Java binding for ONC RPC and the enhancements to the standard functionality that were required for integrating RPC functionality in Web-based applications.
