I'm sorry but this is just not correct and it is not supported by any
statement in the RMI Specification or the Javadoc. A Security Manager
doesn't have to be set for RMI unless you are using the codebase feature. As
discussed by Gregg and Niclas, you might well have your own reasons for
requiring one, but absent the codebase feature there is no requirement in
RMI for a security manager. I have many RMI applications which demonstrate
the truth of this assertion.
