Abstract

Reliable group communication has proven to be an important technology for building fault-tolerant applications, yet many frameworks for distributed application development (e.g. DCOM, Jini and Enterprise JavaBeans) do not support it. The only notable exception to this situation is CORBA, which has been recently extended to include a replication service. We claim that lack of group communication support in other development frameworks constitutes a major obstacle for their wider diffusion in the industry. In this paper, we discuss issues related to integrating reliable group communication and Jini technologies
