Firstly, you better change your name to forum standards or the Name Nazis are gonna come after you.
As for your question, when I say local or remote, it means networked and non-networked. It might mean something else to others. Like the RHE book says, Sun really should call this a distrubuted processing application, not a traditional client/server app.
And yes, you must implement in both modes.

This implementation should include a class that implements the same public methods as the Data class
what does this mean?

i read that server needs to pass stub to each client.. what does this mean? and why it needs to do so?
