Since remote methods include java.rmi.RemoteException in their signature, the caller must be prepared to handle those exceptions in addition to other application specific exceptions. When a java.rmi.RemoteException is thrown during a remote method invocation, the client may have little or no information on the outcome of the call -- whether a failure happened before, during, or after the call completed. Therefore, remote interfaces and the calling methods declared in those interfaces should be designed with these failure semantics in mind.
