Design Question RMI or WebService 2005-02-24 - By Kevin Gaasch
Back
Depending on your Application Server implementation, you may be able to
implement http tunneling. I know both JBoss and BEA WebLogic support
http tunneling. Http tunneling requires no code changes from the
default RMI implementation, so it should be simple to setup.

Hi Kurien,
I am not able to find any design consideration in this case that
specifically favor either RMI or WS. From that point of view, I think
either of them would be alright.
In my opinion, WS would be a better choice because it reduces the
coupling between the modules and provides higher extensibility. AFAIK,
SOAP does not have any scalability issues. I have used WS to pass
large
amount of data (not more than 100K), but did not observe any big
issues.
Moreover since it uses HTTP, you do not have to setup an additional
tunnel. Therefore from a security point of view also you might not end
up with any concerns if you use WS. But here, if the server needs to
push some data without the client requesting for it, WS cannot work
for
you.
Hope this enhances your decision process
Jaise
