ROMP is the Ruby Object Message Proxy. It is sort of like drb
(distributed Ruby) in that it allows a Ruby client program to
seamlessly talk to an object that is sitting on a server. However, it
has many distinct advantages over drb:
- Much faster, up to 40000 messages per second (compare to 50 messages
per second for drb).
- Allows more than one object to reside on the server; supports a form
for naming service for retriving references to objects.
- Fully thread-safe, provided the object sitting on the server is
thread-safe.
- Supports oneway calls, so the client does not have to block waiting
for a response from the server.
- Allows exceptions to be propogated from server to client; massages
the backtrace to make debugging easier.
