Daniel, I was going to run your tests against our implementation, and it looks like there's a lot of tests in the package, but I found no documentation on how to run them. Could you please instruct me on how your test suite works and how can I run it?
Thank you!

There is obviously a performance penalty paid by the 1.4.2 release of the package. You can find both versions of the packages at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-211 b) compatibility with reference implementation within our contribution you will find a complete set of test cases (source code and documentation for each). We run these test cases against our package before contributing it, so I guess one way to move further is to cross run test cases (you run ours and we run yours). What do you think? c) performance analysis and comparison I believe the first step here is to get along about which is the workload or set of applications that represent a "real" use of rmi package. I see a big challenge here... I'll wait for your comments, Daniel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zakharov, Vasily M" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 1:17 PM Subject: RE: Contribution of RMI framework Hi, Mikhail, Regretfully, the method-to-method comparison would hardly be effective with RMI, as it's a highly integrated component. 80% of implementation is hidden in non-public API, and some components (e. g. RMIC) have no public API at all. So it's hard to plug just one public method from one implementation to another without modifying non-public code - and non-public code could have (and probably does have) very different structure in different implementations. What we really can do is try to run both these implementations and compare them for conformance to the specification, compatibility with reference implementation, maybe stability, performance, visual code quality etc. I'm now planning to do some of these, so we'd get some results pretty soon.
