This annotation can be applied to a remote method of a remote interface to
suppress RMI faults and exceptions. If a remote method is annotated with this
annotation, it should not be declared to throw
RemoteException. Be
careful using this annotation, it changes the semantics of remote method and
it does not allow the application to notice any stub fault, such as the
expiration of a remote pointer.
Each method which encounter an RMI fault and suppress it will return the
default value for its return type. The default values are
0 for
all numerical primitive (such as int) and non-primitive (such as
Integer) types,
false for the boolean type and
null for object types.
