JRMP / Pooled invokers

[javidjamae]

The server/xxx/conf/jboss-service.xml file in JBoss-5.0.0.Beta3 still has references to the JRMP, Pooled, and Local invokers using the pre-JBoss Remoting detached invoker model. Since the unified invoker supports configuration for these protocols, what is the point in keeping them around anymore? It seems a bit confusing to have two ways to configure the same thing. Or am I missing something...?

Hi Javid,

I can't give you a complete answer, but one reason for keeping them around is for compatibility with older versions of the Application Server. For example, if you wanted an instance of AS 4.0.2 to connect to an instance of AS 4.2.0, you would need a legacy invoker because really early version of Remoting, upon which the UnifiedInvoker is based, aren't compatible with newer versions.

Whenever possible, though, you should use the UnifiedInvoker.
