1. Introduction

To evaluate the RMI mechanism in isolation wouldn't really make for a justifiable outcome therefore I intend to evaluate RMI in comparison with an established network mechanism.
A comparative view of the two mechanisms will be presented. This will be performed in two phases:

1. RMI vs RPC - Compares the RMI against a traditional remote process communication mechanism, Remote Process Call (RPC).

2. Comparison of Client/Server Model Implementation - A comparative view of how a client server application is implemented using RMI and a traditional remote mechanism.

This comparative view should provide us with a factual understanding from which we can draw sound conclusions about the RMI mechanism.
