I wouldn't go the way to pass TMAPI through RMI.

I think it's better to exchange Topic Map Fragments in some dialect.
A begin might be Ontopias TMRAP or SNAPI
<http://sf.net/projects/snapi/>.
SNAPI's approach is nice, but the development seems to be stalled.
TMRAP is very simple and should be easily translatable from the TM4J
API to TMAPI.
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/tm4j/tm4web/tmrap/>

Another, more advanced way would be adapting the NetworkedPlanet WS.
<http://www.networkedplanet.com/technology/webservices/intro.html>

The service interface is very similiar to TMAPI methods so it would be
easily translatable to TMAPI.

BTW: If you translate TMRAP to TMAPI, the TMAPI-Utils
<http://sf.net/projects/tmapi-utils/> project would be glad if you
contribute your code to the project. :)

Best regards,
Lars
