Rickard,
You misunderstood my question. I know why an EJB server is better than a
RMI server. My question was highlighting the silliness of designing an
application that has to use both to get a job done. I want to just use EJB
only, but if I have to have a RMI server next to it, well, why don't just do
it all in RMI then. Don't want to, but I'm beginning to complicate things
by going outside EJB anyway.
