# Interface java.rmi.Remote

public interface Remote

The `Remote` interface serves to identify interfaces whose methods may be invoked from a non-local virtual machine. Any object that is a remote object must directly or indirectly implement this interface. Only those methods specified in a "remote interface", an interface that extends `java.rmi.Remote`, are available remotely.

Implementation classes can implement any number of remote interfaces and can extend other remote implementation classes. RMI provides a convenience class, `java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject`, that remote object implementations can extend to facilitate remote object creation.

For complete details on RMI, see the RMI Specification which describes the RMI API and system.
