Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi all.

I'm facing troubles with changing communication protocol between my server and client from RMI to SOAP. I'm trying to use JAX-RPC implementation of SOAP.

For the first time, it looks like a good replacement for RMI. The trouble is that I have some business-logic objects (customers, accounts) on the server which I was able to get the reference to and call them remotely from the client.

As far as I understand, I should create the web service with its own URL for every object instance I want to call using JAX-RPC. Is it correct? If so, seems like JAX-RPC would not fit my needs. Can we talk that JAX-RPC is a replacement for RMI at all?

Thank you!
