title: What has replaced JINI?
body: <p>It seems that JINI is pretty much <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44824/is-jini-at-all-active-anymore">an abandoned project.</a> The latest release from the Jini.org site is from last year, and there has been no news since then.</p>
  
  <p>JINI appears to be very useful to provide services in a completely distributed minor. What happened to this technology? Also what has replaced this technology?</p>
  
  <p>The thread that I linked to claims that web services have replaced this technology. However, web services are strictly a client and server setup, not meant for dynamic distribution for jobs. [It can but it doesn't have the framework to do this] I find it difficult to believe that this technology just disappeared due to a lack of need.</p>
