Important points
1. import java.rmi.* ; all methods in this package throws
RemoteException that must be caught.
2. Remote in interface indicates that this is remote
interface,
the methods can be used by object in the remote
machine.
3. Server extends UnicastRemoteObject implements
remote interface
Also import java.rmi.server.* for server program
4. Naming.rebind("servername", serverobject);
Others methods are bind , rebind, unbind
5. In client, Naming.lookup("rmi://ipaddress/servername")
method is used to identify the server and returns
remote interface.
6. Use inter.method to call the method in client.
Steps to exucute RMI
1. Write programs for interface, server and client and
compile them.
javac inter.java
javac server.java
javac client.java or javac *.java
2. Then use rmi compiler to create stub and skeleton class.
rmic server
3. Copy inter, server, skeleton to server machine and
inter, client and stub to client program
4. Then start rmi registry by
start rmiregistry
5. Run the server program in server machine by
java server
6. Execute the client program by
java client ipaddress arg1 arg2
java client 200.200.1.120 5 8

System.out.println("client");
i.getdata(a,b);
result = i.adddata();
System.out.println(result);
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("error " + e);
