public interface RemoteItem
extends Remote

Remote version of the JCR Item interface. Used by the ServerItem and ClientItem adapter base classes to provide transparent RMI access to remote items.

The methods in this interface are documented only with a reference to a corresponding Item method. The remote object will simply forward the method call to the underlying Item instance. Argument and return values, as well as possible exceptions, are copied over the network. Complex return values (Items and Nodes) are returned as remote references to the corresponding remote interfaces. RMI errors are signaled with RemoteExceptions.
