RMI vs Socket Connection
I would like to know the advantage of using RMI METHODOLOGY connecting to the server over the SOCKET CONNECTION connecting to the server. Is there any performance differences like speed, reliability... etc.
Because I am currently working in developing Java application implementing 3 tier architecture.
There is no database connectivity concept in this.
To fetch some info from lower tier to the uppermost tier
I feel RMI is better solution instead of Socket concept.
Some one please clear my doubt.
Thanks in advance.

If I implement RMI my application is going to invoke a method in remote machine to do some sort of work. I can accomplish the same by using java.io.* and java.net.* package.
How RMI is superior than SOCKET? or change by question like
What are the credits if I use RMI instead of normal SOCKET programming ?

From my experience there is no difference in term of speed
between both solution. They are both reliable.
Socket allows you to have clients written in C/C++ or any
other language and it's simple.
RMI : you must have Java client but if you have a lot of
info. to transfer you will save a lot of time
(you don't have to care about the protocol, parsing
your messages etc...). For OO programming this is
a better solution
In conclusion, I prefer RMI because it is evolving !

Please tell me clearly the merits and demerits of RMI and Socket Connections ? It is not acceptable that "since because RMI is evolving it is better than Socket methodology "

Prolonged silence from Mr.Hleungta. Why?
Please suggest some sites where I can get info regarding my question ?
