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