4. Crispy :
Url: http://crispy.sourceforge.net/
About Crispy:
CRISPY = Communication per Remote Invocation for different kinds of Services via ProxYs.
The intention for this project is a very simple API to call different kinds of services (provider/
technology). Crispy’s aims is to provide a single point of entry for remote invocation for a wide
number of transports: eg. RMI, EJB, JAX-RPC or XML-RPC. It works by using properties to configure
a service manager, which is then used to invoke the remote API. Crispy is a simple Java codebase
with an API that sits between your client code and the services your code must access. It provides
a layer of abstraction to decouple client code from access to a service, as well as its location and
underlying implementation. The special on this idea is, that these calls are simple Java object calls
(remote or local calls are transparent).
