What is Jini?
2
y Jini is a distributed system architecture developed by Sun
Microsystems, Inc.
y Its main goal is ´network plug and playµ.
y Jini is not an acronym, it·s coined by one of its designers--Bill
Joy.
y You can think it as standing for ´Jini Is Not Initialsµ.

The more complete scenario
1. A new printer is set up in the network.
2. The printer sends a ³looking for lookup services´ message to the local network.
3. Each lookup service on the network responds with a proxy for itself.
4. The printer registers its proxy o bject and attri butes with each lookup service
using the proxy of each lookup service.
5. A man with a digital camera comes into this network, and he wants to print out
a new picture.6. The camera sends ³ looking for lookup services´ messages to the local network.
7. Each lookup service in the network responds with a proxy for itself.
8. The camera searches for types of services it needs using the proxies of one or more
lookup services. The lookup service returns one or more matching proxy o bjects,
and the client distinguish them further by their attri butes.
9. The exactly matched proxy is downloaded to the camera. Then the
camera begins to use the proxy to interact with the printer to print the picture.

What happens in a Jini environment?
9
For a service:
Discovery : sends a ³looking for lookup services´ message to all the local lookupservices and downloads their proxy o bjects.
Join : uses the downloaded proxy o bject to register its proxy o bject and attri butes
with each lookup service.
Renew : renews its registration at the lookup services.
For a client:Discovery : sends a ³looking for lookup services´ message to all the local lookup
services and downloads their proxy o bjects. Then it picks
up the service that it wants by using the proxies of the lookup services.
For a lookup service:Here I am : sends a ³Here I am´ message periodically to the local network in case
that some services may be fail to register previously due to the network
failure or some other reasons.

The Service Lookup Process
10
y Service ID: each service, including the lookup service, has an IDthat is unique in the Jini environment.
y Group : a group can be represented by any arbitrary string.
y A client can use group to identify a set of services that it wishes to
look up.y The lookup service can use group to filter the lookup requests.
y A group with an empty string as name means ´public groupµ,
which will actually match all groups.

The Service Lookup Process(cont·d)
11
y The Discovery Protocols : are used by a client or aservice to find out the lookup services and download
their proxy objects.
y The Leasing Mechanism : a lease is a period of time
during which the service is registered. If the leaseexpires and the service doesn·t renew it, the service will
be discarded by the lookup service.
y The Join Protocol : is used by the service to register
itself with a lookup service.

The Discovery Protocols
12
y
Multicast Request Protocoly Unicast discovery protocol
y Multicast Announcement Protocol
Three Protocols are used in the discovery phase:

The Discovering Entity The Lookup Service
2. The discovering entity first
sets up a TCP server.
The multicast response service
1. Construct a multicast UDP
socket, listening to the multicast
request.
3. Constructs a multicast UDP
socket, then sends its request
for lookup services to the network.
4. If the DE¶s groups match the
groups to which it provides services,it connects to the DE¶s multicast
response server, and passes its proxy
o bject to the DE.
The multicast response service

15
The Unicast Discovery Protocol
By multicast, a discovering entity can only find out the lookup
services in the local network.
What if a user want to access a Jini service in another
network? Use the Unicast Discovery Protocol! The client needs to be told a bout the location of the remote
lookup service.
Then the client directly esta blishes the TCP connection to the
lookup service and downloads the lookup service¶s proxy
o bject.

The Multicast Announcement Protocol
The Multicast Announcement Protocol is initiated by the
lookup service to announce its existence.
It also uses 2 connections: one is the multicast UDP to send the
³Here I am´ message to the network, the other is a TCPconnection to wait for the discovering entity to esta blish a
download connection. In fact, this TCP connection is the same
connection as used in the Unicast Discovery Protocol.
It uses the TCP connection to transfer the proxy o bject of the
lookup service to the discovering entity.

The Discovering Entity The Lookup Service
1. Esta blishes TCP unicast
discovery server.
The unicast discovery server
2. Constructs a UDP multicast
socket, periodically sends out
the ³Here I am´ message.
1.Esta blishes a set of service IDs
of lookup services from which it
already heard, then constructs
socket waiting for the arriving of
the multicast announcement.
Service IDs
2. For each announcement received,
it determines whether the service ID
is already in the set and whether it is
interested in the groups of the lookup
service.
3. If the service ID isn¶t in the setand it is interested in the groups, it
connects to the unicast server to get
the proxy of the lookup service and
then add the new ID into the set.

The Leasing Mechanism
18
y When a service registers with a lookup service, it gets back a lease on its
presence in the lookup service.y If a service wants to maintain its presence, it must periodically renew the
lease at the lookup service.
y Any network or host failure will force the removal of the unreachable
services, which guarantees that the status of the network is almost alwayscurrent.
y It·s a self-healing mechanism. For example, when a network failure isolates
a service from a lookup service, the service will be evicted from the
lookup service because it can·t renew its lease. And when the network is
fixed, the service will receive a ´Here I amµ message, and then it can join
the lookup service again.

The Join Protocol
19
A service must maintain certain items of its state. These items areas follows:
1. Its service ID : A new service will not be assigned a service ID until it is
started for the first time. After a service has been assigned a service ID, it
must continue to use it across all lookup services.
2. Set of attributes : used to distinguish the service from other services.
3. Set of groups : the groups that this service wishes to participate.
4.Set of specific lookup services : the lookup services that this service hasregistered with. ( by remem bering their service IDs)

The Join Protocol(cont·d)
20
3. The Join Protocol happens after the discovery process, and isaccomplished by using the downloaded proxy of the lookup service.
2. For example, if a service is asked to change the set of attri butes
with which it registers itself, it first modifies the set of attri butes inits storage, then it performs the requested change at each lookup
service with which it is registered.
1. The Join Protocol is used to register/unregister a service with alookup service, or to maintain those items of its state, such as
changing its groups, attri butes, etc.
