h1. Features

{multi-excerpt:name=features}
The Petals RMI service engine aims to provide a direct access to the internal NMR of a Petals ESB container. So an external Java client can interact directly with the NMR:
* to activate, deactivate or search endpoints,
* to create, send or receive message exchanges.

\\
The external Java client can act as a service consumer or a service consumer:
* a Java client as service consumer will create message exchanges, send and receive them. Such a client is responsible to apply correctly message exchange patterns,
* a Java Client as service provider will activate/deactivate endpoints receiving and replying to message exchanges.
