RE: Jini As a WebService

A UDDI registry service is a Web service. It exposes a SOAP API that is
described by WSDL.

The Jini lookup service is not a Web service. It exposes a Java RMI API. If
you want to use Jini with Web services, you will need to build a Web service
wrapper that acts as a gateway between SOAP/WSDL and Java/RMI. In other
words, build a Web service that exposes the Jini lookup functionality using
SOAP/WSDL. When the gateway Web service receives a request, it transforms it
into a native Java RMI Jini request.

Subject: Jini As a WebService

UDDI can be used as a WebService but what about Jini? Can we use Jini and
UDDI as a WebService. I am looking for some informative material on this
topic.
 
Thanx,
