Package mandala.jacob.remote Description

This package is dedicated to remote implementation of the active map concept.

Basically, two interfaces defines the behaviour of remote objects. We distinguish tow sort of remote objects:

• standard remote objects which are similar to the one used in RMI or Corba.
• local reference retriever remote objects which are able to return a local reference on the object they are referring to.

Standard remote objects

Standard remote objects are defined by the interface Remote which basically defined how remote exception are handled.

Local reference retriever remote objects

Local reference retriever remote objects are defined by the LocalReferenceRetriever interface which extends the Remote interface but declares the getLocalReference() method.
