Accendia Iris Server 2.3 Released
2008-04-11 16:15:58
Accendia Iris Server is a complete communications solution for developing Java client/server applications. At core the technology implements RPC calls over a bidirectional wire protocol with the following key features:

• Binary wire protocol designed to reduce CPU cycles used to marshal and unmarshal messages and the volume of data transferred;
• Non-blocking sockets solution with a fixed number of processing threads;
• Server memory footprint <15Mb;
• Callback invocations from the server are performed over the socket connection initiated by the client allowing the deployment of the client behind a firewall;
• Support for asynchronous client invocations, meaning the client is not waiting for a response from the server, allows fast data uploads from the client to the server and reduces the volume of data transferred on the network;
• A downstreaming mechanism for downloading large hierarchical data structures from the server without creating large buffers;
• Integrated authentication and access control;
• Support for client session and application lifecycle management.
