In distributed computing, there is an essential need for the applications in the distributed environment to be able to use the functionalities offered by each application without knowing how these functionalities are implemented. One common possibility for this is the Remote procedure call (RPC), which is an Inter-Proccess communication that allows a computer program to cause a subroutine or procedure to execute in another address space (commonly on another computer on a shared network). Java Remote Method Invocation is the Java implementation of Remote Procedure Call. In the solution for this "Problem", we will take a look at the mechanism of Java RMI.
