DCL - Experiment 3 1

The document outlines an experiment for a Distributed Computing Lab course, focusing on implementing a calculator application using Remote Method Invocation (RMI). It includes Python code for both the server and client, as well as observations and conclusions about the implementation process. Additionally, it addresses concepts like stubs, marshalling, and unmarshalling in the context of distributed computing.

B.3 Observations and learning:
In a distributed computing environment, remote method invocation (RMI) refers to calling a
method on a remote object. It is analogous to a remote procedure call.

B.4 Conclusion:
Successfully implemented a calculator application using RMI.

B.5 Question of Curiosity.


Q1: What do you mean by stub? What are the functions of Stub?
ANS:
- A method stub or simply stub in software development is a piece of code used to stand
in for some other programming functionality. A stub may simulate the behaviour of
existing code (such as a procedure on a remote machine; such methods are often called
mocks) or be a temporary substitute for yet-to-be-developed code.

Q2: What is marshalling and unmarshalling?


ANS:
- Marshalling is the process of transforming the memory representation of an object into
another format, which is suitable for storage or transmission to other software
applications.

9
- Unmarshalling is the process in which an object or data structure is deserialized.

10
Q3: How is the stub generated?
ANS:
- Stubs are generated either manually or automatically. In a manual generation, a remote
procedure call implementer provides translation functions, from which a user
constructs stubs. They handle complex parameter types. Automatic stub generation is
commonly used to generate stubs. They use integration description language to define
client and server interfaces.
