Does RMI support the use of UDP?

843793Mar 3 2003 — edited Mar 5 2003

Hi, I'm writing a publication and I need a verifiable resource (i.e. a web document written by the people at Sun) that indicates definitively whether RMI is capable of supporting UDP.

I've been searching the forums and came across some dissonant information concerning this. Here are the posts:

1.
RMI is built on top of Java's object and class facilities, its objects serialization protocol and its TCP/IP networking support, so its not possible to run it ontop of UDP.

2.
RMI use standard ISO TransfertControlProtocol network layer.TCP is aproximatly the 4th layer and IP the 3.

3.
RMI can also use UDP (same layer than TCP)

The last one disagrees with the previous two.

Thanks for any references anyone can provide,
Tim
