Difference between JRMP vs HTTP

Question

While going through spring remoting i came across remoting vis RMI and via HTTP invoker. The only striking difference between the two seemed to be the protocols used by the two ie JRMP(java remote method protocol) by rmi and http by http invoker. can some one please there knowledge on the difference between these two protocols as i am unable to find it across the web.

Thanks

http is a stateless protocol.The main messages exchanged are in XML or JSON format. You can look up JRMP here is this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Remote_Method_Protocol
