Right you are. There is _nothing_ in the spec about "TCP".

Jini sits on top of Java Spaces, which defines (2!) two interfaces:

The only exposure to RMI at the Java Spaces layer is the thrown by the interface (which is a standalone class, and you can throw it too ;).

Most of the serious exposure to RMI (interface) is incured in Transaction layer due to its use of interfaces which extend , which are at worst case, mappable to an equivelant IIOP IDL.

In any event, java.rmi.Remote (an interface) can be supported by classes other than sun's TCP based implementation of the RMI architecture. So if you want RMI over PSTN there is nothing stopping you from delivering just that. Simply stop extending java.rmi.server.* classes and extend your own implementation classes.

That would take care of "TCP" dependencies.
