Package java.rmi.server

Provides classes and interfaces for supporting the server side of RMI. A group of classes are used by the stubs and skeletons generated by the rmic stub compiler. Another group of classes implements the RMI Transport protocol and HTTP tunneling.

Deprecated: HTTP Tunneling. The HTTP tunneling mechanism has been deprecated. See RMISocketFactory for further information.

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, the runtime support for them, and the use of the rmic stub compiler to generate 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. Generation of skeletons and static stubs was typically performed as part of an application's build process by calling the rmic tool. This is unnecessary, and calls to rmic can simply be omitted.

Interface Summary
Interface	Description
LoaderHandler	Deprecated. no replacement
RemoteCall	Deprecated. no replacement.
RemoteRef	`RemoteRef` represents the handle for a remote object.
RMIClientSocketFactory	An `RMIClientSocketFactory` instance is used by the RMI runtime in order to obtain client sockets for RMI calls.
RMIFailureHandler	An `RMIFailureHandler` can be registered via the `RMISocketFactory.setFailureHandler` call.
RMIServerSocketFactory	An `RMIServerSocketFactory` instance is used by the RMI runtime in order to obtain server sockets for RMI calls.
ServerRef	Deprecated. No replacement.
Skeleton	Deprecated. no replacement.
Unreferenced	A remote object implementation should implement the `Unreferenced` interface to receive notification when there are no more clients that reference that remote object.

Class Summary
Class	Description
LogStream	Deprecated. no replacement
ObjID	An `ObjID` is used to identify a remote object exported to an RMI runtime.
Operation	Deprecated. no replacement
RemoteObject	The `RemoteObject` class implements the `java.lang.Object` behavior for remote objects.
RemoteObjectInvocationHandler	An implementation of the `InvocationHandler` interface for use with Java Remote Method Invocation (Java RMI).
RemoteServer	The `RemoteServer` class is the common superclass to server implementations and provides the framework to support a wide range of remote reference semantics.
RemoteStub	Deprecated. Statically generated stubs are deprecated, since stubs are generated dynamically.
RMIClassLoader	`RMIClassLoader` comprises static methods to support dynamic class loading with RMI.
RMIClassLoaderSpi	`RMIClassLoaderSpi` is the service provider interface for `RMIClassLoader`.
RMISocketFactory	An `RMISocketFactory` instance is used by the RMI runtime in order to obtain client and server sockets for RMI calls.
UID	A `UID` represents an identifier that is unique over time with respect to the host it is generated on, or one of 2¹⁶ "well-known" identifiers.
UnicastRemoteObject	Used for exporting a remote object with JRMP and obtaining a stub that communicates to the remote object.

Exception Summary
Exception	Description
ExportException	An `ExportException` is a `RemoteException` thrown if an attempt to export a remote object fails.
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.
SkeletonMismatchException	Deprecated. no replacement.
SkeletonNotFoundException	Deprecated. no replacement.
SocketSecurityException	Deprecated. This class is obsolete.
