Introduction
Inter-Process Communication (IPC) for Java allows for an interaction between an application running in a Java virtual machine and its native environment. Although the term IPC is also known to denote communication across system boundaries, this particular implementation is limited to a well-known set of system-local mechanisms. Although the I/O primitives supported by the Java platform already allow for inter-process communication, their non-functional features related to performance or security, are inferior to some of the unsupported IPC mechanisms available on today's operating systems.
