Is it possible to use RMI bidirectional between two classes?

Question

I want to share some information between two classes (A and B), which are running in different java programs. Instead of writing a whole communication protocol I want to use

Answer 1

How would class B know about class A without a second RMI server though? I think you are going to need two servers.

Answer 2

It's been a while since I've used RMI, but IIRC if class B implements java.rmi.Remote and passes a reference to an instance of itself as a parameter to the method in class A, then class A should receive a stub and methods called on it will be called on the original instance.

However, if you have a lot of such RMI calls going back anf fro, you will probably encounter performance problems.
