There is no limit to the marshalled size of parameters in RMI in general.
I have sent documents as parameters with sizes > 5Mb. Maybe you
were reading about an RMI implementation for smart cards other some
other memory limited device. RMI is just a protocol. A given
implementation may choose to impose limiting behavior but it is not part
of the RMI spec.

size of a 'reference'?
