the updated my bug, and updated the release notes now:
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java ... 13177.html"
➜ Improve Registry Support
The java.rmi.Remote marker interface identifies interfaces containing methods that can be invoked remotely by using the following specification:
Methods declared in interfaces that directly or indirectly extend java.rmi.Remote can be invoked remotely
Methods defined in interfaces that do not extend Remote directly or indirectly cannot be invoked remotely
This affects remote objects in the java.rmi.registry.Registry and any other remote object.
"
so yes this change in behavior/spec was a problem for certain implementations we had. So they will not change that back.
