I reject of thin clients on many grounds:
1. inefficiency.
2. bugs introduced by the browser
3. you don't keystroke by keystroke validation
4. there is no logic to help you fill out a form when not all the
fields are mandatory.

The problem with RMI is you expose everything to the outside world,
hopefully just an internal LAN.  

I did two projects of this sort. The server had a socket open to each
terminal.  The protocol was a continuous stream of large binary
packets (most commonly image files). It had quite spectacular
throughput.
