Running the Example

It is possible to have the remote object call the client back.

This can be useful for a number of purposes, for example to provide feedback on progress, etc.

Here's an example of how this can be done using RMI.

We'll implement a simple Time server, where the client registers, and then subsequently receives regular callbacks to report the time.
