package java.rmi;
/** {@collect.stats}
* 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=../../../platform/rmi/spec/rmiTOC.html>RMI Specification</a> which describes the RMI API and system.
*
* @since JDK1.1
