I was going to answer more or less the same, so I build my answer
on top of yours ;-)

The "sexiness" comes with the implementation of RMI with the
specifics of being forced to perform asynchronous requests.
So the only thing you have to do is call a method that is
defined in an interface, leading to the call of the correspon-
ding method being implemented in the servlet.

How the parameters passed to the method are marshalled/un-
marshalled is done by the RPC-framework, the same is valid
for the data being returned by the method.

It makes testing the implemented methods in the servlet
easier as well (as long as you don't access the request-
and/or response-instance directly) by allowing you to
call an explicit method instead of firing up a HTTP-
server, create an HTTP-request and send that to the
server or use httpunit for establishing a virtual Servlet-
environment to pass in the request that way.

ACK
