Remote Reflection API

Remote Reflection is a Java API that makes it easier to call remote methods on remote JVM in a simple way without the need for any special configurations or common contract between client and server.

Test Service

package com.app.server;

public class Service {
	public String hello(String name) {
		return "Hello " + name + " from server";
	}
}

Server

In the server application(the application which you want to expose its method remotely) , add the following after at the end of you main method:

package com.app.server;

import com.jk.core.reflection.server.ReflectionServer;

public class App {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		ReflectionServer server = new ReflectionServer(7125);
		server.start();
	}
}

Thats it , now you can expose any method inside this application VM to your application client.

Client

In the client application(the application which should consume the remote method):

package com.app.client;

import com.jk.core.reflection.client.ReflectionClient;
import com.jk.core.reflection.common.MethodCallInfo;

public class App {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		ReflectionClient client=new ReflectionClient("localhost", 7125);
		MethodCallInfo info=new  MethodCallInfo("com.app.server.Service", "hello", "Jalal");
		client.callMethod(info);

		String result = (String) info.getResult();
		System.out.println(result);
	}
}
