Serialization with RMI

[Chris Robinson]

I need to send an object between a client and server using RMI. As far as I understand I need to implement the Serializable interface in the class that I want to send objects of in order to send them as a byte stream.
Can I then just pass the object in a method call as normal and let the RMI do the work required at both ends or do I have to carry out some form of manual Serialization at the sender and Deserialization at the receiver?

If you use RMI, you simply invoke the remote method with an instance of your Serializable object. That's the beauty of it. Check out the Java Tutorial: RMI for examples.
