I know that RMI is short on making connection outside LAN. I want to know if RMI IIOP can connect server client over internet. Is it possible ? If yes what are the possible solutions?

RMI works fine over the internet, it’s TCP-based. I’d use KryoNet as an RMI implementation, personally. It’s no-hassle, and extremely speedy. The serialisation mechanism uses Kryo, which is one of the fastest general purpose serialisation libraries. Note that there may be issues with firewalls. However, you could easily have an RMI server that listens on port 80. This would be work fine (unless there is heavy packet snooping, I guess). An RMI server that works over HTTP is interesting too. Mmm.
