Communication between Java applications running on different JVMs

[laura.paterson]

Hi.

I have three java applications that will run on a single machine - one
is the primary application, the other two need to submit and retrieve
information from it.

Currently I have these talking to each other by creating separate
instances of the main application in each of the two sub-applications,
then communicating through interfaces.

I now have a requirement to run the main application in its own
process, having the other two apps running in separate JVMs.

Does anyone have any hints on how I could achieve this? I am currently
looking at CORBA, which we use elsewhere in the app for network comms,
but I was wondering if there is anything simpler to implement - given
that all processes will be running on a local machine...

Thanks,
Laura

Sounds like a good fit for RMI to me.
