package java.rmi;
The Remote interface serves to identify interfaces whose
methods may be invoked from a non-local virtual machine. Any object that
is a remote object must directly or indirectly implement this interface.
Only those methods specified in a "remote interface", an interface that
extends java.rmi.Remote are available remotely.
Implementation classes can implement any number of remote interfaces and
can extend other remote implementation classes. RMI provides some
convenience classes that remote object implementations can extend which
facilitate remote object creation. These classes are
java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject and
java.rmi.activation.Activatable.
For complete details on RMI, see the RMI Specification which describes the RMI API and system.
