What is RMI?
Remote Method Invocation, or RMI, is a set of protocols that enables Java objects to communicate remotely with other Java objects. RMI is a relatively simple protocol, but unlike more complex protocols such as CORBA and DCOM, it works only with Java objects. CORBA and DCOM are designed to support objects created in any language. Essentially, Java RMI allows you to send messages to some live object in another virtual machine, and receive results, while coding in a virtual-machine transparent manner on your local VM.
