/**
 * Remote version of the JCR {@link javax.jcr.security.Privilege Privilege}
 * interface. Used by the
 * {@link org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.server.security.ServerPrivilege
 * ServerPrivilege} and
 * {@link org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.client.security.ClientPrivilege
 * ClientPrivilege} adapter base classes to provide transparent RMI access to
 * remote item definitions.
 * 
 * The methods in this interface are documented only with a reference to a
 * corresponding Privilege method. The remote object will simply forward the
 * method call to the underlying Privilege instance. Argument and return values,
 * as well as possible exceptions, are copied over the network. Complex return
 * values are returned as remote references to the corresponding remote
 * interface. RMI errors are signaled with RemoteExceptions.
