/**
 * Remote version of the JCR {@link javax.jcr.Repository Repository} interface.
 * Used by the
 * {@link org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.server.ServerRepository ServerRepository}
 * and
 * {@link org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.client.ClientRepository ClientRepository}
 * adapters to provide transparent RMI access to remote repositories.
* <p>
 * The methods in this interface are documented only with a reference
 * to a corresponding Repository method. The remote object will simply
 * forward the method call to the underlying Repository instance.
 * {@link javax.jcr.Session Session} objects are returned as remote references
 * to the {@link RemoteSession RemoteSession} interface. Simple return
 * values and possible exceptions are copied over the network to the client.
 * RMI errors are signalled with RemoteExceptions.
