Does RMI-IIOP support dynamic downloading of classes (RMI)

Question :Does RMI-IIOP support dynamic downloading of classes? (RMI)
Answer :No, RMI-IIOP doesn't support dynamic downloading of the classes as it is
done with CORBA in DII (Dynamic Interface Invocation).Actually RMI-IIOP
combines the usability of Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) with the
interoperability of the Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP).So in order to
attain this interoperability between RMI and CORBA,some of the features
that are supported by RMI but not CORBA and vice versa are eliminated
from the RMI-IIOP specification.
