What's the advantage of using JNI over xml/rpc?

It sounds interesting, and there was a google SoC project last year on
running Java from perl in a nicer way than Java::Inline, and I'd
really love to have the ability to call Java RMI from perl without
having to use a java compiler/vm, all it's classes, and all the hassle
that entails.

Cheers,
