There is currently no way to enable standard logging of exceptions thrown from the server-side RMI implementation's attempts to invoke ServerSocket.accept (when the exception isn't so fatal as to kill the associated accept thread). Such logging could be extremely helpful in debugging certain kinds of failures.

(It is possible to access these exceptions via a programmatically-set RMIFailureHandler instance-- see Workaround-- but that approach is much less convenient and has drawbacks.)
