You could have an interface implemented by both the
classes DataServer and Data and declare variable d as a
reference to that interface.

Here is what I believe Narayan was implying. I used it in my project and it works.
public interfact Database
public class DataServer implements Database
public class Data implements Database
Now your code looks like:
public class DataclientImpl implements DataServer
{
Database d;
connect(String mode)
{
if(local)
{
d=new Data();
}else
{
d = (DataServer)Naming.lookup(url);
}
}
public lock(index)
{
d.lock(index);
}
}
Hope this helps,
Matt

I know this is picky put if everyone used the CODE blocks around there code sections it would make it easier to read.

I do understand this but i just dont understand why u say data class extend database,i dont want to use it.In my case but Dont know what ram needs..
my data class why should ram implement the database in dataserver.
i think he need to use one class to do the local and remote.
but i too dont understand completely..

The most common solution to the local/remote problem is to look up the DataServer in remote mode and just use an instance of the Data class in local mode. As part of this solution, the Database interface serves as an adapter, where the client can make calls against the interface, without worrying whether it is local or remote. Without it the code would something look like:
(in the DataClient)
private Data d1 localClient;
private DataServer d2 remoteClient;
public void lock(int recordNum)
{
if(localMode)
{
d1.lock(recordNum);
}
else
{
d2.lock(recordNum);
}
}
I think you would agree that this is something you would want to avoid.
