Supporting interactive invocation of remote services within an integrated programming environment

摘要: Building distributed systems is an inherently difficult and complex task. Modern middleware architectures assist developers by providing abstractions that hide transport layer functionality. This paper argues the development of such can be aided availability appropriate, integrated tools. We discuss ways in which building supported tools, focusing particularly on interactive testing debugging mechanisms.A prototype system based BlueJ programming environment has been developed to support Java RMI applications as a basis for further investigation. The tools part this are presented discussed.
