How do I get started with RMI?
Here's a simple example that uses localhost for both client and server. It was tested on Win2000 machine running JDK1.3.1.

The purpose is to create an rmi server that contains a remote method listFiles which the client can call with a path to retrieve the list of files in that directory.

- Create a directory c:\rmi.
- Create a directory c:\rmi\fileservice.
- Create the following files:

c:\rmi\fileservice\IFileService.java:
