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:
+transparently talk to an object that is sitting on a server. Its
+features include:
-- Much faster, up to 40000 messages per second (compare to 50 messages
- per second for drb).
+- Up to 40000 messages per second
-- Allows more than one object to reside on the server; supports a form
- for naming service for retriving references to objects.
+- Allows more than one object to reside on the server; supports a sort
+ for naming service for retrieving 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
+- Supports one-way 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
+- Allows exceptions to be propagated from server to client; messages
the backtrace to make debugging easier.
