      The method unexportObject in java.rmi.server.RemoteServer should be
      moved to its two subclasses java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject and
      java.rmi.activation.Activatable. The unexportObject method removes
      a remote object from the RMI runtime so that the object can no longer
      accept incoming calls. This may also have the pleasant side-effect
      of allowing the VM to exit if there are no other non-daemon threads
      and no more remote objects in the VM that are accessible to clients.

      Currently the unexportObject method is in the class RemoteServer.
      This class is too abstract to support a global notion of unexporting
      remote objects. The action of unexporting a remote object is really
      specific to the type of object through which the remote object was
      exported in the first place (e.g., UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject()
      and Activatable.exportObject()).

      RMI/IIOP also has the same notion of unexporting an object which is
      accomplished via the unexportObject method of the
      javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject class. To be consistent among the
      server implementation classes in the RMI interface, as well as to
      provide for future flexibility in the way in which objects are exported
      and unexported, it is desirable to move the unexportObject method from
      RemoteServer to its subclasses UnicastRemoteObject and Activatable.

      The implementation of the method can remain the same (as it was
      in RemoteServer).
