If a server returns a stub to a RemoteObject that resides on the server, the client uses that stub as a parameter in another server method call, and the server invokes a method on the object, is the client involved in the 3rd step (when the server calls one of the remote object's methods)? Is there any excess communication between the server and its local RemoteObject? (I understand this is similar to http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=121620 , but I am afraid there may be a different answer.)    More>>

We do this all the time. A server method acts like a client and invokes the server (this is called recurrsion.)


Network traffic usually refers to that which takes place between remote machines. When it's the local host, the overhead is minimal since it's cpu time not over-the-wire.
