Re: java.rmi vs. javax.rmi

Javax.rmi is providing some CORBA specifc extensions. I would not look 
to CORBA since it seems to have fallen out of favor in all but the 
telecom industry. If you need to use some distributed technologies... 
you may want to consider a Web Service or XML-RPC type calls. You get a 
little more pain at run time because they are hire level protocols, but 
you will have a bit more portability.
