RMI Transport Reference

The Java Remote Message Invocation (RMI) transport sends and receives Mule events over Java Remote Method Protocol (JRMP). This transport has a dispatcher that invokes an RMI method and a polling receiver that repeatedly does the same.

You configure the RMI transport as follows:

Note: In the code examples in this guide, spring-beans-current.xsd is a placeholder. To locate the correct version, see http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/.

The connector looks for the method and methodArgumentTypes. It uses the payload as the argument.

JNP Connector

If you want to use the Java naming protocol to bind to remote objects, you can use the JNP connector instead simply by using the jnp namespace.
