RMI Question

[Shafiek Savahl]

Hi

We are using RMI quite extensively in one of our projects and we seem
not to be getting the expected performance results.  Do any of you know
of any whitepapers or discussions that outlines the loss in performance
in calling a native method from java as to calling it from a native
programme.

e.g.

// Java or C/C++
void callNativeMethod()
{
    // #1
    callAnyNativeMethod(Object aLargeObject);
    //#2
}

What I was after was a discussion paper or info on the loss in
performance one can expect between #1 and #2 when comparing Java and
native C code.(when both calling the same C code)

Also, are there factors that contribute to it e.g. passing large object
parametres ??

Thanks
