Remote is designed for the communication between the Java client and the UNICOM^® Digital Transformation Toolkit (UDTT™) server environment. The component enable lightweight remote services over HTTP, and using Java’s serialization which makes programming easier.

The remote component can call the service on the server from the client side in a lightweight way. The implementation of Remote, which can provide better extensibility and consistency, is based on the UDTT Element Factory. The following figure illustrates its structure.

Remote uses the UDTT Element Factory as the first level container. The server maintains the service with UDTT Element Factory. The service can be Plained Old Java Object (POJO). The client maintains the proxy of UDTT Remote for the service. Through these proxy the client can call the service method.

Remote uses the web container as the second level container on the server.
