In the Java SE platform's distributed
object model, a remote object is one whose methods can be
invoked from another Java virtual machine, potentially on a
different host. An object of this type is described by one or more
remote interfaces, which are interfaces written in the
Java programming language that declare the methods of the remote
object.
Remote method invocation
(RMI) is the action of invoking a method of a remote interface on a
remote object. Most importantly, a method invocation on a remote
object has the same syntax as a method invocation on a local
object.
