    /** 
     * Interface checked for RMI-IIOP compliance test.
     * Verify the following:
     *
     *   The remote interface is allowed to have superinterfaces. Use of interface
     *   inheritance is subject to the RMI-IIOP rules for the definition of remote
     *   interfaces.
     * 
     *  Verify the following:
     *
     *  An RMI remote interface defines a Java interface that can be invoked 
     *  remotely. A Java interface is a conforming RMI/IDL remote interface if: 
     *
     *  1. The interface is or inherits from java.rmi.Remote either directly or 
     *     indirectly. 
     * 
     *  2. All methods in the interface are defined to throw 
     *     java.rmi.RemoteException or a superclass of java.rmi.RemoteException. 
     *     Throughout this section, references to methods in the interface include 
     *     methods in any inherited interfaces. 
     *
     *  3. Method arguments and results may be of any types. However at run-time, 
     *     the actual values passed as arguments or returned as results must be 
     *     conforming RMI/IDL types (see "Overview of Conforming RMI/IDL Types" on 
     *     page 28-2). In addition, for each RMI/IDL remote interface reference, 
     *     the actual value passed or returned must be either a stub object or a 
     *     remote interface implementation object (see "Stubs and remote 
     *     implementation classes" on page 28-4). 
     *
     *  4. All checked exception classes used in method declarations (other than 
     *     java.rmi.RemoteException and its subclasses) are conforming RMI/IDL 
     *     exception types (see "RMI/IDL Exception Types" on page 28-5)1 
     *
     *  5. Method names may be overloaded. However, when an interface directly 
     *     inherits from several base interfaces, it is forbidden for there to be 
     *     method name conflicts between the inherited interfaces. This outlaws the
     *     case where an interface A defines a method "foo," an interface B also 
     *     defines a method "foo," and an interface C tries to inherit from both A 
     *     and B. 
     *
     *  6. Constant definitions in the form of interface variables are permitted. 
     *     The constant value must be a compile-time constant of one of the RMI/IDL
     *     primitive types or String. 
     *
     *  7. Method and constant names must not cause name collisions when mapped to 
     *     IDL (see "Names that would cause OMG IDL name collisions" on page 28-9). 
     *
     *     The following is an example of a conforming RMI/IDL interface definition:
     *        // Java 
     *        public interface Wombat extends java.rmi.Remote { 
     *          String BLEAT_CONSTANT = "bleat"; 
     *          boolean bleat(Wombat other) throws java.rmi.RemoteException; 
     *        }
     *
     *     While the following is an example of a non-conforming RMI/IDL interface:
     *        // Java 
     *        // IllegalInterface fails to extend Remote!! 
     *        public interface IllegalInterface { 
     *          // illegalExceptions fails to throw RemoteException. 
     *          void illegalExceptions(); 
     *        }
     *
     * @param RMIIIOPinterface the Interface to be checked for Rmi-IIOP compliance

     * @return <code>boolean</code> true if RMIIIOPinterface is valid RMIIIOP interface, false otherwise

    /**
     * Method parameters checked for RMI-IIOP compliance test.
     * Verify the following:
     *
     *   The home/remote interface methods arguments types must be legal types for
     *   RMI-IIOP.  This includes primitives, value types, and interfaces.  This 
     *   means that their arguments must be of valid types for RMI-IIOP.
     *
     *   28.2.4 RMI/IDL Value Types 
     *    An RMI/IDL value type represents a class whose values can be moved 
     *    between systems. So rather than transmitting a reference between systems,
     *    the actual state of the object is transmitted between systems. This 
     *    requires that the receiving system have an analogous class that can be 
     *    used to hold the received value. Value types may be passed as arguments 
     *    or results of remote methods, or as fields within other objects that are 
     *    passed remotely. A Java class is a conforming RMI/IDL value type if the 
     *    following applies: 
     *  
     *      1. The class must implement the java.io.Serializable interface, either 
     *         directly or indirectly, and must be serializable at run-time. It may
     *         serialize references to other RMI/IDL types, including value types 
     *         and remote interfaces. 
     *      2. The class may implement java.io.Externalizable. (This indicates it 
     *         overrides some of the standard serialization machinery.) 
     *      3. If the class is a non-static inner class, then its containing class 
     *         must also be a conforming RMI/IDL value type. 
     *      4. A value type must not either directly or indirectly implement the 
     *         java.rmi.Remote interface. (If this were allowed, then there would 
     *         be potential confusion between value types and remote interface 
     *         references.) 
     *      5. A value type may implement any interface except for java.rmi.Remote.
     *      6. There are no restrictions on the method signatures for a value type.
     *      7. There are no restrictions on static fields for a value type. 
     *      8. There are no restrictions on transient fields for a value type. 
     *      9. Method, constant and field names must not cause name collisions when
     *         mapped to IDL (see "Names that would cause OMG IDL name collisions" 
     *         on page 28-9). 
     *         
     *         Here is an example of a conforming RMI/IDL value type: 
     *           // Java 
     *           public class Point implements java.io.Serializable { 
     *             public final static int CONSTANT_FOO = 3+3; 
     *             private int x; 
     *             private int y; 
     *             public Point(int x, y) { ... } 
     *             public int getX() { ... } 
     *             public int getY() { ... } 
     *           } 
     *  
     *     28.2.4.1 The Java String Type 
     *     The java.lang.String class is a conforming RMI/IDL value type following 
     *     these rules. Note, however, that String is handled specially when mapping
     *     Java to OMG IDL (see "Mapping for java.lang.String" on page 28-18).
     *
