Method Detail

quit

void quit()
          throws RemoteException

Quits the slave JVM.

Throws:

RemoteException

start

void start(MasterRemote master)
           throws RemoteException

This method is called when the slave JVM is initialized.

Parameters:

master - The remote link to the master JVM. Note that the implementation of the slave class will have to downcast this reference to the correct master remote interface. Also note that because of the GJ erasure semantics, this can't have the type it, which is MasterRemote. Luckily it doesn't matter much here to use the erased type.

Throws:

RemoteException
