By the use of the ability of dynamic reconfiguration, the
flexibility, adaptability, and extensibility of distributed systems
are enhanced. How to treat interactions among components during a
dynamic reconfiguration is still one of the most crucial problems in
this research area. This challenge should be met by middleware
design and development. However, the current standard middleware
offers little support for dynamic reconfiguration of distributed
systems. In this paper, we describe an extended Java RMI that
supports efficiently dynamic reconfiguration of distributed systems.
This extended Java RMI can automatically monitor and manipulate
invocations between components during a dynamic reconfiguration.
Moreover, the extended Java RMI can automatically switch invocations
from remote to local and vice versa.
