10. Leasing
A lease is a grant of guaranteed access over a timeA lease is a grant of guaranteed access over a time
period. Each lease is negotiated between the user of theperiod. Each lease is negotiated between the user of the
service and the provider of the service as part of theservice and the provider of the service as part of the

12. How it works
• To use a service, a person or a program locates the
service using the lookup service.
• The service's interface is copied from the lookup
service to the requesting device where it will be used.
• The lookup service acts as a switchboard to connect a
client looking for a service with that service.
• Once the connection is made, the lookup service is
not involved in any of the resulting interactions
between that client and that service

13. How it works

14. ADVANTAGES
Jini is open source.
Jini supports an extremely flexible network as services
and clients can move code to where it is needed.
New services are easy to program in java and can be
easily added to the network.

15. DISADVANTAGES
• Depends on java/RMI or external mechanism for
security.
• Does not scale well to very large systems because jini use
lookup service as a transmitter between client & services.
• One of the most restricting ones is not compatable with
the kilobyte virtual machines[sun99j],72 which is a very
limited VM.it is targeted to embedded devices with
approximately 128 kilobytes of available memory.

16. Conclusion
The overall goal is to turn the network in to flexible,
easily administered tool on which resources can be found
by human and computational clients.
Resources can be implemented as either hardware
devices , software program’s, or a combination of the
two. you can use the jini network technology to create
network technology systems that are scalable, evolvable
and flexible, in dynamic run time environments in a multi
faceted way.
