Dawid,
It's possible, but:
1. It requires breaking changes to replace java.rmi.* classes (mostly
interfaces and exceptions).
2. A codebase annotation schema that allows different client
platforms to select the correct codebase for their platform.
Then, yes we could have a platform that supports both Java and Android,
however it wouldn't be backward compatible with Jini.
The challenge isn't technical, the challenge is getting the community on
board.
Hi All,
Peter Firmstone obviously looked at this about 5 years ago, and even
raised a support question
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/android-platform/mxCM91oQDjo>
with Google in terms of
making certain java.rmi.* classes available on the platform.
I was wondering, has anything happened since then? What are the
prospects of getting River to work on the Dalvik VM?
I imagine there are many potential issues around code downloading
(classloading) and security, but the mobile devices world is ripe for
River, or something like it.
warm regards,
Dawid Loubser
