I see a tendency on developer.java.sun.com forum, to move away from RMI to
EJB. I am reading an article in JavaPro about NOT doing multi-threads in EJB

Hmm, have to look at the source code (should have thought of that sooner). I
do not know if RMI is thread-safe. At least I have a new approach to looking
