=== 6.8.2.5 remote_interface_info ===

 If the value of the **ACC_REMOTE** flag is zero, this structure is defined as: 

**remote_interface_info {** 

**}** 

If the value of the **ACC_REMOTE** flag is one, this structure is defined as: 

The **remote_interface_info** structure is defined as: 

**remote_methods_count** 

The ****remote_methods**_count** item indicates the number of entries in the **remote_methods** array.  

**remote_methods[]** 

The **remote_methods** item of the **class_info** structure is an array of **remote_method_info** structures that maps each remote method available in the class to its hash code and its type definition in the **signature_pool[]**. The methods are listed in numerically ascending order of hash values. 

The **remote_method_info** structure is defined as follows: 

The items in the **remote_method_info** structure are defined as follows: 

**   remote_method_hash** 

The **remote_method_hash** item contains a two-byte hash value for the method. The hash value is computed from the simple (not fully qualified) name of the method concatenated with its method descriptor. The representation of the method descriptor is the same as in a Java class file. See the specification described in **//Java Virtual Machine Specification//** (§4.3.3). 

The hash value uniquely identifies the method within the class.  

The hash code is defined as the first two bytes of the SHA-1 message digest function performed on the **hash_modifier[]** item described below followed by the name of the method followed by the method descriptor representation in UTF-8 format. Rare hash collisions are averted automatically during package conversion by adjusting the anti-collision string. 

**   signature_offset** 

The **signature_offset** item contains an offset from the **signature_pool** item of the **info** item of the Class Component to the variable-length type descriptor structure inside the **signature_pool**[] item. This structure represents the signature of the remote method. 

**   virtual_method_token** 

The **virtual_method_token** item is the virtual method token of the remote method in this class. 

**hash_modifier_length** 

The ****hash_modifier**_length** item is the number of bytes in the following **hash_modifier** item. The value of this item must be zero if an anti-collision string is not required. 

**hash_modifier[]** 

The **hash_modifier[]** item is a variable length representation of the anti-collision string in UTF-8 format. 

**class_name_length** 

The **class_name_length** item is the number of bytes used in the **class_name[]** item. 

**class_name[]** 

The **class_name[]** item is a variable length representation of the name of this class in UTF-8 format. 

**remote_interfaces_count** 

The **remote_interfaces_count** item is the number of interfaces listed in the following **remote_interfaces[]** item. 

**remote_interfaces[]** 

The **remote_interfaces[]** item is a variable length array of **class_ref** items. It represents the remote interfaces implemented by this class. The remote interfaces listed in this array, together with their superinterfaces must be the complete set of remote interfaces implemented by this class and all its superclasses. 

Each entry has the form of a ****class_ref**** structure. Each ****class_ref**** structure must reference an **interface_info** structure representing a remote interface implemented by this class. 

The entries in the **remote_interfaces[]** array must be ordered such that all remote interfaces from the same package are listed consecutively.
