Overview Summary

Module java.rmi

# Package java.rmi.server

package java.rmi.server
Provides classes and interfaces for supporting the server side of RMI. One group of classes are used by the static stubs and skeletons. Another group of classes implements the RMI Transport protocol.

Deprecated: Skeletons and Static Stubs. Skeletons and statically generated stubs are deprecated. This includes the APIs in this package that require the use of skeletons or static stubs and the runtime support for them. Support for skeletons and static stubs may be removed in a future release of the platform. Skeletons are unnecessary, as server-side method dispatching is handled directly by the RMI runtime. Statically generated stubs are unnecessary, as stubs are generated dynamically using `Proxy` objects. See `UnicastRemoteObject` for information about dynamic stub generation.

  RMIServerSocketFactory
  An `RMIServerSocketFactory` instance is used by the RMI runtime in order to obtain server sockets for RMI calls.
  RMISocketFactory
  An `RMISocketFactory` instance is used by the RMI runtime in order to obtain client and server sockets for RMI calls.
  ServerCloneException
  A `ServerCloneException` is thrown if a remote exception occurs during the cloning of a `UnicastRemoteObject`.
  ServerNotActiveException
  An `ServerNotActiveException` is an `Exception` thrown during a call to `RemoteServer.getClientHost` if the getClientHost method is called outside of servicing a remote method call.

  UnicastRemoteObject
  Used for exporting a remote object with JRMP and obtaining a stub that communicates to the remote object.
  Unreferenced
  A remote object implementation should implement the `Unreferenced` interface to receive notification when there are no more clients that reference that remote object.
