SOAP is not at all similar to IIOP or JRMP. SOAP is a data construct specification whereas IIOP and JRMP are TCP/IP protocols. SOAP is very similar to RMI. RMI and SOAP (not document style) are protocol-abstracted RPC mechanisms.
Can you construct RMI over SOAP? That wouldn't make any sense as they do effectively the same thing. You would use one or the other. You would RMI for Java-to-Java communication where the underlying protocols are allowed given firewall restrictions, etc. You would use SOAP for Java-to-Java where protocols are not allowed or for basically any other kind of communication with Java-based implementation services. This is all in the RMI context. I don't at all mean that SOAP is only used in the Java world. As we all know, its primary purpose is interoperability of systems to get away from language and protocol restriction alls the while making services generally available.
