/**

 * The <code>Remote</code> interface serves to identify interfaces whose

 * methods may be invoked from a non-local virtual machine.  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="{@docRoot}/../specs/rmi/index.html">RMI Specification</a> which

 * describes the RMI API and system.

 * @since   1.1
