<div class="block">Interface providing runtime access to a remote service. An instance
implementing this interface will be returned from the
IRemoteServiceContainerAdapter.getRemoteService(IRemoteServiceReference) and
may then be used to communicate with a remote service. The methods on this
interface support accessing the remote service in several ways:<br>
<ul>
<li>callSync -- A synchronous invocation that will block the calling thread
until complete (or timeout) and return the result from the remote or throw
exception if remote invocation fails or throws exception</li>
<li>callAsync/1 -- An asynchronous invocation that will not block the caller
thread but rather return a non-<code>null</code> <code>IFuture</code> instance
that can be polled for results. See <code>IFuture.get()</code>,
<code>IFuture.get(long)</code>, and <code>IFuture.isDone()</code>.
timeout, exception, or successful completion)</li>
<li>callAsync/2 -- An asynchronous invocation that will not block the caller
thread but rather notify the given listener asynchronously when complete (via
timeout, exception, or successful completion)</li>
<li>fireAsync -- An asynchronous invocation that will simply execute the
remote method asynchronously, but will not provide any response or remote
method failure information</li>
<li>getProxy -- Access to a local proxy for the remote service that will
expose the appropriate interface to the caller, and synchronously call the
remote methods when invoked.
