I may have answered my own question as it appears an RMI code base is used by JINI, so that dependencies etc can be deployed to this area and accessed by the client. Anyways, I was asking because I am not sure whether I want to proxy or smart proxy these data services etc. I suppose the real question I need to be answering is: Say the service classes change, how does JINI handle that situation with a smart proxy? Will the smart proxy be automatically updated some how, or would this happen the next time the call takes place? I assume it depends on whether each time the call takes place whether the service is looked up multiple times or not, but I will dig around and read more before asking more ;-)

Do both sides have to have the same dependencies etc (such as javax.activation.*) installed for the smart proxy to use those classes in the client or not? Anyways, I know this is a beginners question, and I'll learn it sooner or later, but thought I would try to get a heads up on some of it as I'm trying to use it in a project which I don't have much time to implement. I'm reading: http://jan.newmarch.name/java/jini/tutorial/Jini.xml and everything else I can find.
