Is communication in java rmi secure?

java, rmi

Solution

Encoded, yes. Encrypted, no.

JERI for JINI gives JRMP (the RMI protocol) over SSL, IIRC.

JSR #76 would have provided RMI Security, however it was controversially voted down.

Problem

Is communication between clients and servers in java rmi secure (i.e. encrypted by default)?
