| Provides the RMI package. RMI is Remote Method Invocation. It is a | |
| mechanism that enables an object on one Java virtual machine to invoke | |
| methods on an object in another Java virtual machine. Any object that | |
| can be invoked this way must implement the Remote interface. When such | |
| an object is invoked, its arguments are ``marshalled'' and sent from the | |
| local virtual machine to the remote one, where the arguments are | |
| ``unmarshalled.'' When the method terminates, the results are | |
| marshalled from the remote machine and sent to the caller's virtual | |
| machine. If the method invocation results in an exception being | |
| thrown, the exception is indicated to caller. | |
