You're complicating the issue - SOAP could certainly be used to implement an RMI transport, and it would not be that difficult.The layers of RMI that use Reflection (for dynamic proxy creation) are transport independent, as is the security model.
Having said that, it is difficult to see how one might implement RMI's pass by value semantics in SOAP - that, at least, is tied to Java Serialization and might have to be omitted for talking to SOAP servers.
