public interface RmiEventListener
extends RmiListener, EventListener

This is the base interface each rmi-event listener should extend. It provides two methods. RmiListener.isConnected() gives the caster the possibility to check if the reference it has to the remote listener is still valid. Note that this method is not as necessary as the appropriate RmiCaster.isValid() method because a caster will always recognize that the appropriate listener has crashed once it tries to submitt an event to it.

The #rebind method allows the caster to signal to the listener that the reference will get invalid within the stated time and that the listener should rebind to the caster after the stated period.
