Design Question RMI or WebService

Hi Folks,

I have a design question where I would like some feedback. I
want an applet to communicate an J2EE server behind a firewall. The
scheme of communication between these two entities will be push and pull
(where applet can push and pull data from the J2EE server).

At one time I had implemented RMI mechanism but it was a situation
without firewalls. I know that through RMI you can tunnel across
firewall.

Which of these two schemes is the best?

* .Use RMI to have applets call EJBs ?
* Use Webservices to implement SOAP between applet and EJB?

Another requirement is that the data passed between the applet and J2EE
server is considerably high. I have heard arguments that using SOAP will
not scale well.

Is there any alternate option than the above?

Thanks

Kurien
