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=../../../guide/rmi/spec/rmiTOC.html>RMI Specification</a> which describes the RMI API and system</a>. * * @version 1.12, 12/03/01 * @since   JDK1.1 * @author  Ann Wollrath * @see	    java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject * @see     java.rmi.activation.Activatable */public interface Remote {}
