| 28 | /** |
| 29 | * The <code>Remote</code> interface serves to identify interfaces whose |
| 30 | * methods may be invoked from a non-local virtual machine. Any object that |
| 31 | * is a remote object must directly or indirectly implement this interface. |
| 32 | * Only those methods specified in a "remote interface", an interface that |
| 33 | * extends <code>java.rmi.Remote</code> are available remotely. |
| 34 | * |
| 35 | * <p>Implementation classes can implement any number of remote interfaces and |
| 36 | * can extend other remote implementation classes. RMI provides some |
| 37 | * convenience classes that remote object implementations can extend which |
| 38 | * facilitate remote object creation. These classes are |
| 39 | * <code>java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject</code> and |
| 40 | * <code>java.rmi.activation.Activatable</code>. |
| 41 | * |
| 42 | * <p>For complete details on RMI, see the <a |
| 43 | href=../../../platform/rmi/spec/rmiTOC.html>RMI Specification</a> which describes the RMI API and system. |
