Abstract


Paper  Java RMI-Based Approach for Web-Enabling the ArcView GIS RPC Server
Track: Application Development
Author(s): Sridhar Narayan, Gene A. Tagliarini

This paper provides a tutorial description of a Java remote method invocation (RMI) approach to Web-enabling the ArcView remote procedure call (RPC) server. An applet requests service from an RMI server that, in turn, relays the request through the Java native-language interface (JNI) to a C program. The C program issues an RPC that executes an Avenue script. After the script finishes, the ArcView RPC server returns the results as a string through the RPC, JNI, and RMI connections to the client applet. The approach is demonstrated by applying it to route planning using the ArcView Network Analyst extension.
