JavaSpaces(TM) servers provide a place on the network, a space, for clients to store and exchange objects. Sets of processes in a distributed system can coordinate their actions by flowing objects in and out of the space. Because these processes interact via the space they can be decoupled from each other. The basic JavaSpace interface allows objects, called entries to be copied into, removed from, and/or non-destructively copied out of the space - optionally using Jini(TM) technology-based transactions.

The basic JavaSpace interface is specified in the JavaSpaces(TM) Service Specification.

The net.jini.space.JavaSpace05 interface extends the JavaSpace interface to provide methods that allow clients to perform batch operations on the space (which are generally more efficient than performing an equivalent set of singleton operations) and to more easily develop applications where a given Entry needs to be read by multiple clients. Implementations of the JavaSpace interface are not required to implement this interface.
