This has got to be one of the oldest misunderstanding in Java. You are
referring to the underlying protocol/engine, which could be JRMP, IIOP,
sockets (which is used in JRMP and IIOP, but anyway), but RMI is not
such an engine. RMI is a interface for distributed programming in Java.
EJB has been built on top of RMI, which is natural since EJB is about
distributed components in Java.
What you are referring to in your reply is (probably) RMI/JRMP which is
the default implementation of RMI which is provided in the JDK available
from Sun.
