RMI is Remote Method Invocation. It is a +mechanism that enables an object on one Java virtual machine to invoke +methods on an object in another Java virtual machine. Any object that +can be invoked this way must implement the Remote interface. When such +an object is invoked, its arguments are ``marshalled'' and sent from the +local virtual machine to the remote one, where the arguments are +``unmarshalled.'' When the method terminates, the results are +marshalled from the remote machine and sent to the caller's virtual +machine. If the method invocation results in an exception being +thrown, the exception is indicated to caller. + + + +@since JDK1.1 + +
