CAROL Library User Manual

CAROL (Common Architecture for RMI ObjectWeb Layer), a RMI manager

Copyright © 1997-2002 INRIA

CAROL is a library allowing to use different RMI implementations. Thanks to CAROL, a Java server application can be independent of RMI implementations and accessible simultaneously by RMI clients using different RMI implementations. CAROL allows to design, implement, compile, package, deploy, and execute distributed applications compliant with the RMI model.
