	// GET_CLASS: 1b, "classname"

	//		8b, n1, bool1, bool2, "superclassname"
	//		The "n1" is the class id.
	//		The bool1 is whether this class is an interface (true if it is).
	//		The bool2 is whether this class is abstract (true if it is).	
	//		The "superclassname" is the class name of the super class (0 length if no superclass)
	//		If the class is not found, then it will return an error with a value for the error.
	//
	// GET_CLASS_FROM_ID: 12b, n
	//		Where "n" is the class id.
	//		Will return on the output stream GET_CLASS_ID_RETURN command:	
	//		13b, "classname", bool1, bool2, "superclassname"
	//		The bool1 is whether this class is an interface (true if it is).
	//		The bool2 is whether this class is abstract (true if it is).	
	//
	// VALUE: 2b, tb, value
	//		Where tb is the type in byte, and value is the appropriate value shown in
	//		table above.
	//		OBJECT_ID: 50b, n
	//			Where "n" is the object id.
	//		NEW_OBJECT_ID: 51b, n1, n2
	//			Where "n1" is class ObjectID of the object that the object_id ("n2") is made of.
	//		OBJECT: 19b, n, writeObject
	//			Where "n" is the classObjectID of the class of the type of the object.
	//			NOTE: Object should be used only very rarely. Identity is lost, i.e.
	//			a copy is made each time and it can't be referenced back on the remote
	//			VM.
	//		ARRAY_IDS: 52b, id, n, [tb, value, ...]
	//			This is a very special array. It contains at least one ID. Therefor all of the 
	//			First level entries are value objects. 
	//			"id" is the id of the component type of the array(e.g. id for Object, or if multi-dimensional String[] (this will produce String[][]).
	//			"n" is the number of entries in the array. Followed by the values, one of the
	//			values could be an ARRAY_IDS too. The reading/writing of these are special because
	//			there is a callback mechanism to process the individual entries. This is so that
	//			temp arrays of ValueObjects won't need to be created to handle this, so it can
	//			go directly from the array to/from the stream.
	//		
	// RELEASE_OBJECT: 7b, n
	//		Where the n is the object id to release. There is no confirmation to read back.
	//
	// ERROR: 6b, n, tb, ...
	//      n is the error code for this error.
	//		tb is a type flag, followed by the value. The value is dependent upon
	//		the command that this is error is from. If a THROW, then the THROW is ALWAYS a new
	//		ID, it can never be an existing id.
	//      
	//
	// TO_BEAN_STRING: 9b, n
	//		Where n is the object id to produce the bean string for.
	//		It will return a VALUE command where the type is String.
	//
	// NEW_INSTANCE: 10b, n
	//		Where n is the class object id of the class to create a new instance of using the default ctor.
	//		It will return either a VALUE command containing the new value (of type OBJECT_ID/NEW_OBJECT_ID if not
	//		one of the constant types with the true classID in it) or an ERROR command. (The ERROR could
	//		be a THROW type). If the object created is not assignable to the type passed in, then
	//		an ERROR is returned with CLASS_CAST_EXCEPTION flag.
	//
	// NEW_INIT_STRING: 11b, n, "initstring"
	//		Where n is the class object id of the class this initstring is supposed to create for.
	//		It will return either a VALUE command containing the new value (of type OBJECT_ID/NEW_OBJECT_ID if not
	//		one of the constant types with the true classID in it) or an ERROR command. (The ERROR could
	//		be a THROW type). The error could also be CANNOT_EVALUATE_STRING. This means that the string was too
	//		complicated for the evaluator and needs to be compiled and tried again. (TBD)
 	//		If the object created is not assignable to the type passed in, then
	//		an ERROR is returned with CLASS_CAST_EXCEPTION flag.
	//
	// GET_OBJECT_DATA: 14b, n
	//		Where n is the id of the object being requested. It will return a NEW_OBJECT_ID value with the info.
	//
	// GET_METHOD: 9b, classId, "methodName", n1, [n2]...
	//		Where classID is the id of the class the method should be found in.
	//		Where n1 is the number of parm types following, and n2 is replicated that many times,
	//		each entry is the id of class for the parm type. (0 is valid which means there are no parms).
	//		The return will be a VALUE command containing the OBJECT_ID of the method.
	//
	// GET_CTOR: 10b, classId, n1, [n2]...
	//		Where classID is the id of the class the method should be found in.
	//		Where n1 is the number of parm types following, and n2 is replicated that many times,
	//		each entry is the id of class for the parm type. (0 is valid which means there are no parms).
	//		The return will be a VALUE command containing the OBJECT_ID of the method.
	//	
	// GET_FIELD:
	//
	// GET_CTOR:
	//
	// INVOKE: 15b, n1, tb, value1, value2
	//		Where "n1" is the id of the method to invoke.
	//		tb, value1 is the value of who to invoke against (it is usually an OBJECT_ID for tb)
	//      value2 is an ARRAY_IDS type or an OBJECT array of values if all constants.
	//		What is returned is a VALUE command containing the return value, (the value will be null (VOID) if
	//		there is no return type (i.e. the method was void). So null can be returned either if the value
	//		was null or if the return type was void.
	//
	// EXPRESSION_TREE_COMMAND: 20b, n, b
	//		Receiving an expression tree subcommand. Where "n" is a unique id number of the
	//		expression being processed. Where "b" is byte code, defined in ExpressionCommands, that
	//		determines the type of expression tree commands.
	//		There can be more data following, but it is read by the 
	//		ExpressionProcesserController, not by the connection. See the controller for the subcommands.
	//
	//		The id number is the id of the expression being processed. This allows more than one expression
	//		to be processed at a time from this connection.
	//
	//		@see ExpressionCommands
	//		@see ExpressionProcessController
	//
	// INVOKE_WITH_METHOD_PASSED: 20b,  classId, "methodName", value0, tb, value1, value2
	//		Where classID is the id of the class the method should be found in.
	//		value0 is an ARRAY_IDS type for the type of the parms, or null type for no parms.  
	//		tb, value1 is the value of who to invoke against (it is usually an OBJECT_ID for tb)
	//      value2 is an ARRAY_IDS type or an OBJECT array of values if all constants.
	//		What is returned is a VALUE command containing the return value, (the value will be null (VOID) if
	//		there is no return type (i.e. the method was void). So null can be returned either if the value
	//		was null or if the return type was void.
	//
	// GET_ARRAY_CONTENTS: 21b, arrayId
	//		Where arrayID is the id of the array to get the contents of. What is returned is a value command
	//		containing an array of ids of the first dimension contents.
	//
	// Callback commands:
	//
	// CALLBACK: 255b, n1, n2, value1
	//      Where
	//        "n1" is the id of callback type (these are registered with the callback server)
	//        "n2" is the msgId for the callback (These are entirely callback dependent and are maintained by the callback developer)
	//        value1 is an ARRAY_IDS type or an OBJECT array of values if all constants. These are
	//          parms to send to the callback msg.
	//      It will return a CALLBACK_DONE.
	//
	// CALLBACK_DONE: 254b, value command.
	//		What comes back is a value command (i.e. Commands.VALUE followed by value). This allows
	//		ERRORS to be sent back too.
	//
	// CALLBACK_STREAM: 253b, n1, n2
	//      Where
	//        "n1" is the id of callback type (these are registered with the callback server)
	//        "n2" is the msgId for the callback (These are entirely callback dependent and are maintained by the callback developer)
	//		It will create a CallbackInputStream and notify the registered callback that the
	//		stream is available. It will send a callback_done when it has accepted the request
	//		but before it notifies the registered callback with the stream. This lets the remote
	//		vm know that it can start sending data.
	

	// To the MasterServer socket:
	// The MasterServer socket will expect input in DataInputStream format, and DataOutputStream for return.
	// The socket will be short-lived. It will be for one transaction only. Each request will return a new socket.
	//
	// ALIVE: 16b, n1
	//      Where
	//        "n1" is the id of the registry this is asking to test for aliveness
	//      Will return bool, where false if registry is not alive, true if it is alive.
	// REMOTE_STARTED: 17b, n1, n2
	//      Where
	//        "n1" is the id of the registry this is telling that it is started
	//        "n2" is the serversocket port number of the server socket in this remote vm.
	//      Will return bool, where false if registry is not alive, true if it is alive. If false, then terminate the server because nothing to talk to.
	// GET_CALLBACK_PORT: 18b, n1
	//      Where
	//        "n1" is the id of the registry this is asking for the callback server port.
	//      Will return int, where the value is the callback server port number. -1 if there is no callback server port.		
	
	/**
	 * This class is the return from a read value. It contains the
	 * type of the value and the value itself. Since primitives can be
	 * returned also, there is a slot for each one and the type should
	 * be checked to see which one is set.
	 *
	 * Also, if the type is OBJECT, then the anObject has the object in it, AND
	 * the classID field has the object_id of the class of the object so that the
	 * appropriate beantypeproxy can be found to use that object. Also, only
	 * IREMConstantBeanTypeProxies can be of type OBJECT. That is because those
	 * are the only ones that know how to take the value object and interpret it.
	 *
	 * If the type is OBJECT_ID or NEW_OBJECT_ID, then the objectID field will be set with
	 * the id.
	 * If the type is NEW_OBJECT_ID, then the classID field will
	 * have the class objectID of the class of the object for which object_id proxies.
	 *
	 * THROW is treated like NEW_OBJECT_ID in what fields are set since it is a new object.
	 *
	 * Note: so as not to create unnecessary objects, if the Object type of the primitive is being
	 * sent, then the primitive field will be set instead, though the type
	 * will still be the Object type (i.e. if type = L_BYTE, the aByte will
	 * have the value in it).
	 * 
	 * Note: Also flags can be send back. The type will be FLAG and the anInt field will be the
	 * flag value. This is used to indicate special things that aren't values. Most useful in
	 * arrays where one of the entries is not a value. This can only be used if readValue
	 * is passed a flag indicating flags are valid, otherwise it will be treated as not valie.
