Hi, Thanks for the reply. I understand the fundamental difference between the two but I'm more concerned with performance. If you look at the jackrabbit-webapp the local.jsp/remote.jsp describe how performance is "much better" using a local lookup such as within container context or through local JNDI where-as using RMI to look up is recommended as a last resort. My question is what does "significantly better" mean? I understand that RMI has capabilities that JNDI alone does not but what penalty would I incur if I chose to use RMI even if I didn't absolutely require the remoting capability. Keeping in mind that everything I will be accessing will be from within the context of web-containers.
