What is RMI? how does distributed application created using RMI? Explain with an example.

 RMI (Remote Method Invocation) is a Java API that enables distributed applications to communicate and interact with each other over a network. It allows Java objects to invoke methods on objects running on remote machines, just as if they were invoking methods on local objects. In RMI, a client sends a request to a remote object, which then processes the request and sends a response back to the client. The communication between the client and the remote object is transparent to the developer, as the RMI system handles all the necessary details.

These methods should throw RemoteException, which is a checked exception indicating that a remote error has occurred. The remote interface should extend the java.rmi.Remote interface. 2. Implement the remote interface: The imp...
