Hi, me again...

After successfully issuing a method call to the rmi server using sockets=20=

(method returns void and receives void) I would like to understand the wh=
ole=20
RMI server answer to the method call message. It answers:


00000000  51 AC ED 00 05 77 0F 01 3D 65 30 9D 00 00 01 21=20=20=20=20
00000010  CF F3 A8 BF 80 11=20=20=20

Well, the 0x51 is the first field and means success. Then AC ED 00 05 is =
the=20
magic number plus the format version. Then 77 0F means TC_BLOACK_DATA=20
and it says that there is 15 bytes lefting on the message.=20

Please, could you tell me what information is carried on on those gfinal =
15=20
bytes? which fields are there? what do they mean?

Thanks a lot.

Alex
