Do Jini services have to be RMI remote objects?
Created May 4, 2012
Tim Rohaly No. Services have to be serializable objects, which includes
as a subset objects that are RMI remote objects. The protocol
they use to communicate back to the server is private - it
may be RMI, it may be a custom protocol implemented
using sockets, or the service may execute locally on the
client without communicating with the server.
