Remote 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 java.rmi.Remote, are available remotely.
 Implementation classes can implement any number of remote
 interfaces and can extend other remote implementation classes.  RMI
 provides a convenience class,
 java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject, that remote
 object implementations can extend to facilitate remote object
 creation.
 
For complete details on RMI, see the RMI Specification which describes the RMI API and system.
