# Variation Using Remote Sessions

Previous

Next

TopLink includes a session type called remote session. The session offers the full session API and contains a cache of its own, but exists on the client system rather than on the TopLink server. Communications can be configured to use RMI or RMI-Internet Inter-Object Request Broker Protocol (IIOP).

Remote session operations require a corresponding client session on the server.

Although this is an excellent option for you if you wish to simplify the access from the client tier to the server tier, it is less scalable than using a client session and does not easily allow changes to server-side behavior.
