/**
* Generic remote access exception. A service proxy for any remoting
* protocol should throw this exception or subclasses of it, in order
* to transparently expose a plain Java business interface.
*
* <p>When using conforming proxies, switching the actual remoting protocol
* e.g. from Hessian to Burlap does not affect client code. Clients work
* with a plain natural Java business interface that the service exposes.
* A client object simply receives an implementation for the interface that
* it needs via a bean reference, like it does for a local bean as well.
*
* <p>A client may catch RemoteAccessException if it wants to, but as
* remote access errors are typically unrecoverable, it will probably let
* such exceptions propagate to a higher level that handles them generically.
* In this case, the client code doesn't show any signs of being involved in
* remote access, as there aren't any remoting-specific dependencies.
*
* <p>Even when switching from a remote service proxy to a local implementation
* of the same interface, this amounts to just a matter of configuration. Obviously,
* the client code should be somewhat aware that it <i>might be working</i>
* against a remote service, for example in terms of repeated method calls that
* cause unnecessary roundtrips etc. However, it doesn't have to be aware whether
* it is <i>actually working</i> against a remote service or a local implementation,
* or with which remoting protocol it is working under the hood.
