    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.
