/**
 * Package containing the interface definitions for executing remote services. The
 * {@link org.openengsb.core.common.communication.CallRouter} and
 * {@link org.openengsb.core.common.communication.RequestHandler} are required for delegating calls to different
 * ports implementations and receiving data from them. {@link org.openengsb.core.common.communication.MethodCall} and
 * {@link org.openengsb.core.common.communication.MethodReturn} describe the methods to call and their return values
 * form remote calls. The {@link org.openengsb.core.common.communication.OutgoingPort} interfaces have to be implemented
 * by ports to provide the logic used by the {@link org.openengsb.core.common.communication.CallRouter} and the
 * {@link org.openengsb.core.common.communication.RequestHandler}
