The data flow model of Cross - X consists of seven
sequential steps as follows
Step 1:
 |
The
Domain Server will be activated |
 |
The
RMI Registry will be started Programmatically |

Step 2:
 |
The
Clients will register with the Server by starting the RMI Registry at the
startup |

Step 3:
 |
The other clients will also
follow the Step 2 and will get registered with the server |

Step 4:
 |
Using
the remote object during the look up, the clients will call function of the
remote object to get the list of registered clients |

Step 5:
 |
A
Client say, 192.168.0.3 selects another client machine say, 192.168.0.5 and
looks up to the client’s RMI Registry to get the remote object (Similar to
Step 2) |

Step 6:
 |
With
this remote object we can start calling the functions needed to get the files.
The file information is sent as XML data after access check for the requested
directory |

Step 7:
 |
If
the client tries to open the file in remote machine, first, it will check for
mapping in the local machine and open the file accordingly |
