{{Get Jini}}

Jini technology is a technology for building [[:wikipedia:Service-oriented architecture|service oriented architectures]] that defines a programming model which both exploits and extends Java technology to enable the construction of secure, distributed systems consisting of federations of well-behaved network services and clients. Jini technology can be used to build adaptive network systems that are scalable, evolvable and flexible as typically required in dynamic computing environments.

The term Jini refers to both a set of [[:Category:Jini_Specifications|specifications]] and an implementation; the latter is referred to as the [[:Category:Jini_Starter_Kit|Jini Starter Kit]]. Both the specifications and the Starter Kit (initially created by [http://www.sun.com Sun Microsystems]) have been released under [http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 the Apache 2.0 license] and have been offered to the [http://incubator.apache.org/ Apache Software Foundation's Incubator].

Once you've understood Jini's core [[#Concepts|concepts]], move on to [[:Category:Getting Started|Getting Started]].
