Michael - As I understand it, CORBA is not an alternative to RMI, but an underlying protocol that may or may not be used as a communication layer beneath RMI.
Am I wrong? (quite possible) and how does this fit with the JRMP and IIOP protocols? (IIOP has something to do with CORBA I think...). It is all quite confusing, but I am trying to understand...
