Yes, RMI is a TCP protocol. RMI over IIOP simply carries the RMI protocol
on top of IIOP, just like (e.g.) Microsoft can carry NetBEUI traffic over
TCP/IP.

Is this strictly true? If so, how come everyone raves about 'RMI over
IIOP' and jboss itself runs over JRMP? I think RMI is just an API to some
underlying, vendor specific protocol. Otherwise how come you need to tell
JNDI which factory to use? (that may well be another issue, but you see
what I'm getting at).

Weblogic use t3 as the underlying protocol for RMI. I agree that they
have done this in a less than helpful way (insist on using
weblogic.rmi.*) but it's still more or less RMI.
