Hi David!
RMI is undoubtedly one of the best mechanisms to implement didtributed applications.It has features like callback operations,dynamic classloading,object activation and ability to use different transport protocols.
But I feel event based systems will be more robust.And the components of event based systems need not be tightly coupled.
Are you aware of JMS(Java Message Service). It enables you to devlop robust event based enterprise systems.
