RMI is Java-centric, whereas SOAP, which uses XML, is language independent. However there are some similarities. SOAP, like RMI, allows you to make an RPC on another machine over HTTP or SMTP. Soap works on the request/response model of making remote procedure calls. The client program forms a request which consists of a valid SOAP XML document and sends it over HTTP or SMTP to a server. The server picks up the SOAP request, parses and validates it, invokes the requested method with any supplied parameters, forms a valid SOAP XML response and sends it back over HTTP or SMTP.
