Java IDL or RMI-IIOP?

There are circumstances in which you might choose to use RMI-IIOP and others in which you might choose to use Java™ IDL.

RMI-IIOP is the method that is chosen by Java programmers who want to use the RMI interfaces, but use IIOP as the transport. RMI-IIOP requires that all remote interfaces are defined as Java RMI interfaces. Java IDL is an alternative solution, intended for CORBA programmers who want to program in Java to implement objects that are defined in IDL. The general rule that is suggested by Oracle is to use Java IDL when you are using Java to access existing CORBA resources, and RMI-IIOP to export RMI resources to CORBA.
