What does the rmi2soap compiler do?
The rmi2soap compiler translates Java RMI into SOAP stubs and skeletons. A stub allows client programs to access Web services in a easy-to-understand and type-safe manner without having to worry about the underlying wire protocol. In a similar manner, a skeletons allow Web services to be implemented in an easy and type-safe manner. Please consult the tutorial for a detailed description of rmi2soap.
