RMI-IIOP using JAX-RPC

RMI-IIOP can be used with JAX-RPC to support non-SOAP bindings.

Java API for XML-based Remote Procedure Call (JAX-RPC) is the Java standard API for invoking web services through remote procedure calls. A transport is used by a programming language to communicate over the Internet. We can use protocols with the transport such as SOAP and Remote Method Invocation (RMI). We can use RMI-IIOP with JAX-RPC to support non-SOAP bindings.

Using RMI-IIOP with JAX-RPC, enables WebSphere Java clients to invoke enterprise beans using a WSDL file and JAX-RPC instead of using the standard Web Services for Java EE programming model. When a enterprise JavaBeans implementation is used to invoke a web service, multiprotocol JAX-RPC permits the web service invocation path to be optimized for WebSphere Java clients. To learn more this optimization, read about using enterprise bean bindings to invoke an EJB from a web services client.

Benefits of using the RMI/IIOP protocol instead of a SOAP- based protocol are:
