RMI-Money-Conversion

This project demonstrates a simple implementation of Remote Method Invocation (RMI) in Java for a currency conversion service. It consists of a server that provides a remote method to convert a monetary amount from one currency to another (for simplification, the conversion rate is static), and a client that consumes this service to perform conversions and retrieve the server's current date and time.

Server

Services

• IConvertisseurRemote: This is a remote interface that declares two methods - one for performing the currency conversion and another to get the server's current date and time.
• ConvertisseurImpl: Implements the IConvertisseurRemote interface. It provides the logic for converting a monetary amount and getting the server's date.

Main Server Class

• Server: Sets up the RMI environment, creates an instance of ConvertisseurImpl, and binds it to the RMI registry for the clients to locate and use.

Client

• Client: Looks up the remote object in the RMI registry and invokes its methods to perform currency conversion and retrieve the server's current date and time.

Setup and Execution

Server

1. Navigate to the server's root directory.
2. Compile the Java files in the ma/fstm/ilisi/rmimoneyconversion/server directory.
3. Run the Server class to start the RMI registry and bind the remote object.

Client

1. Ensure that the server is running and accessible.
2. Navigate to the client's root directory.
3. Compile the Java files in the ma/fstm/ilisi/rmimoneyconversion/client directory.
4. Run the Client class to look up the remote object and invoke its methods.

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on both server and client machines.
• The server and client have network access to each other (if running on different machines).

Note

This example uses a static conversion rate and does not connect to any external APIs for real-time currency conversion rates. The purpose is to demonstrate RMI in Java, not to provide an accurate currency conversion service.
