Java Remote Method Protocol (JRMP)

As of Java 5.0, Sun documents JRMP within the Java RMI documentation. The simplest way to get to this information is to click on the 'RMI' box in the 'Java SE Platform at a Glance' graphic that can be found here.

JRMP now tries to create a direct JVM-to-JVM interface between distributed processors using a socket-based stream interface. If this fails (due to a firewall blocking the port), it tries to connect via a HTTP-transport (port 80) interface.
