Question: What are Remote callbacks?

Answer: In client-server technology / architecture, a server responds to a remote client. A call back is a method invocation from one application (Application A) from another application (Application B), as a result of action that was performed by the Application B earlier. The Application A may run on a client and the Application may run on a server. To perform the call back mechanism the system that Application A runs acts as a Server and that of the Application B runs acts as a client.
