Cloudscape Access Using RmiJdbc
|
|
How RmiJdbc WorksA daemon (RJJdbcServer) runs on the server side. The daemon offers an RMI server object that implements the whole interface of a JDBC driver object. The server object can give access to any JDBC driver registered in the server's JDBC DriverManager. The object acts as a proxy gateway to registered JDBC drivers that it contains. The RmiJdbc JDBC driver itself runs on the client side. The JDBC classes it implements contact the RmiJdbc server to access databases. The only requests supported by an RmiJdbc server are JDBC requests. To allow an applet to connect to databases on hosts other than the Web server, you can use the RmiJdbc server as a proxy. This prevents your getting security exceptions from the "sandbox" restrictions of the original Java security model, and allows you to connect to hosts other than the Web server. An RmiJdbc server can connect to another RmiJdbc server using its own transport, the RmiJdbc client driver. Cloudscape provides a customized distribution of the RmiJdbc software. You do not need to follow the RmiJdbc server installation instructions. |
