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.
