Mule : Managing RMI Objects

The RmiContainerContext can be used to expose Rmi Objects as Mule components. To configure an RMI container you need to add a <container-context> element that uses the org.mule.impl.container.RmiContainerContext and set the Jndi environment properties.
The following example configures a JBoss RMI container context -

<container-context className="org.mule.impl.container.RmiContainerContext">
   <properties>
       <!-- Jndi environment properties -->
       <map name="environment">
          <property name="java.naming.factory.initial"
                          value="org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"/>
          <property name="java.naming.provider.url" value="jnp://localhost"/>
          <property name="java.naming.factory.url.pkgs"
                          value="org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"/>
       </map>

       <!-- optional properties to configure custom security policies and security manager -->
       <property name="securityPolicy" value="/projects/foo/classes/wideopen.policy"/>
       <property name="securityManager" value="java.rmi.RMISecurityManager"/>
   </properties>
</contianer-context>

Components can reference an RMI Object by setting the implementation attribute of a <mule-descriptor> to the name of the Object stored in Jndi.

<mule-descriptor name="RMIComponent" implementation="myRMIObject">
    ....
</mule-descriptor>
