  11.  * The <code>Remote</code> interface serves to identify interfaces whose

  12.  * methods may be invoked from a non-local virtual machine.  Any object that

  13.  * is a remote object must directly or indirectly implement this interface.

  14.  * Only those methods specified in a "remote interface", an interface that

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

  16.  *

  17.  * <p>Implementation classes can implement any number of remote interfaces and

  18.  * can extend other remote implementation classes.  RMI provides some

  19.  * convenience classes that remote object implementations can extend which

  20.  * facilitate remote object creation.  These classes are

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

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

  23.  *

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

  25.  href=http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/guide/rmi/spec/rmiTOC.doc.html>RMI Specification</a> which describes the RMI API and system</a>.
