Abstract

In this paper, we present usages of XML-RPC and the effectiveness in mobile agent frameworks. In the mobile agent framework, XML-RPC has a usage as a migration media. To confirm the effectiveness, we implement these functions in a mobile agent framework. In order to realize a migration mechanism, custom Object Serialization is implemented to customize Java’s built-in serialization mechanism. For deserialization, a dynamic class loader is implemented. If no custom Object Serialization is used, an object cannot be deserialized on a remote host, because the class description of the object may not be in the remote host.
