No, the application semantics reside in the invoked methods, *their* semantics make up the application protocol. For an RMI-based system to be RESTful, the set of invoked methods must be uniform. You can propably think of it thisway: you could implement HTTP on top of RMI; the methods would then have to be PUT,GET,POST,DELETE,et al. Does that help?
