JavaSpaces is a powerful Jini service from Sun Microsystems, which facilitates building distributed applications for the Internet and Intranets. The JavaSpaces model involves persistent object exchange areas in which remote processes can coordinate their actions and exchange data. It provides a necessary ubiquitous, cross-platform framework for distributed computing, emerging as a key technology in this expanding field.
