/**

* The <code>Remote</code> 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 <code>java.rmi.Remote</code> are available remotely.

*

* <p>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

* <code>java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject</code> and

* <code>java.rmi.activation.Activatable</code>.

*

* <p>For complete details on RMI, see the <a

href=../../../platform/rmi/spec/rmiTOC.html>RMI Specification</a> which describes the RMI API and system.
