Using RMI in EJBs

Question

I have a business method of my session EJB:
public class ManagerBean implements SessionBean   {
   public GatewayReference registerGateway() throws RemoteException;
}and this is the definition of the return type:
public interface GatewayReference extends java.rmi.Remote {
   public void start() throws RemoteException;
}A client looks up my EJB home interface, creates the EJB and calls the registerGateway method.
Then, on the return object, start is called. I expect, because this class is java.rmi.Remote, the call to be remote but is not - it is invoked locally in the client VM.
Why is that?

Answer 1

Then, on the return object, start is called. I
expect, because this class is java.rmi.Remote,
the call to be remote but is not - it is invoked
locally in the client VM.
Why is that?May be I am missing something here but how do you find out that
the call is invoked locally?
