The only time you'd want to use the RmiJdbc driver is when accessing the
same InstantDB database using two or more Java Virtual Machine
processes.  You should have no problem accessing the same database from
within the same JVM.  If you're running two servlets in one instance of
Enhydra, for example, you won't run into any issues using the same
InstantDB database.
