In this paper, we study the issues of the design of the Java RMI-based workflow management systems (JWfMS). In JWfMS, Java RMI is used as the underlying infrastructure technology. The strengths and weaknesses of some typical distributed object technologies such as CORBA, DCOM, and Java RMI are discussed. We present a method of using Java RMI to transport the objects dynamically between the server and client in JWfMS, thus making it possible to transport the only needed objects and require lower network transport load during run time. We discuss the framework design of this method in details and show that Java RMI is suitable for designing complicated distributed applications such as JWfMS.
