module java.rmi

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.

Since: 1.1

Interface Summary

Modifier and Type	Interface and Description
public interface	LoaderHandler Deprecated no replacement `LoaderHandler` is an interface used internally by the RMI runtime in previous implementation versions.
public interface	RemoteCall Deprecated no replacement. `RemoteCall` is an abstraction used solely by the RMI runtime (in conjunction with stubs and skeletons of remote objects) to carry out a call to a remote object.
public interface	RemoteRef `RemoteRef` represents the handle for a remote object.
public interface	RMIClientSocketFactory An `RMIClientSocketFactory` instance is used by the RMI runtime in order to obtain client sockets for RMI calls.
public interface	RMIFailureHandler An `RMIFailureHandler` can be registered via the `RMISocketFactory.setFailureHandler` call.
public interface	RMIServerSocketFactory An `RMIServerSocketFactory` instance is used by the RMI runtime in order to obtain server sockets for RMI calls.
public interface	ServerRef Deprecated No replacement. This interface is unused and is obsolete. A ServerRef represents the server-side handle for a remote object implementation.
public interface	Skeleton Deprecated no replacement. Skeletons are no longer required for remote method calls in the Java 2 platform v1.2 and greater. The `Skeleton` interface is used solely by the RMI implementation.
public interface	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

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
public class	ExportException An `ExportException` is a `RemoteException` thrown if an attempt to export a remote object fails.
public class	LogStream Deprecated no replacement `LogStream` provides a mechanism for logging errors that are of possible interest to those monitoring a system.
public class	ObjID An `ObjID` is used to identify a remote object exported to an RMI runtime.
public class	Operation Deprecated no replacement An `Operation` contains a description of a Java method.
public abstract class	RemoteObject The `RemoteObject` class implements the `java.lang.Object` behavior for remote objects.
public class	RemoteObjectInvocationHandler An implementation of the `InvocationHandler` interface for use with Java Remote Method Invocation (Java RMI).
public abstract class	RemoteServer The `RemoteServer` class is the common superclass to server implementations and provides the framework to support a wide range of remote reference semantics.
public abstract class	RemoteStub Deprecated Statically generated stubs are deprecated, since stubs are generated dynamically. See `UnicastRemoteObject` for information about dynamic stub generation. The `RemoteStub` class is the common superclass of statically generated client stubs and provides the framework to support a wide range of remote reference semantics.
public class	RMIClassLoader `RMIClassLoader` comprises static methods to support dynamic class loading with RMI.
public abstract class	RMIClassLoaderSpi `RMIClassLoaderSpi` is the service provider interface for `RMIClassLoader`.
public abstract class	RMISocketFactory An `RMISocketFactory` instance is used by the RMI runtime in order to obtain client and server sockets for RMI calls.
public class	ServerCloneException A `ServerCloneException` is thrown if a remote exception occurs during the cloning of a `UnicastRemoteObject`.
public class	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.
public class	SkeletonMismatchException Deprecated no replacement. Skeletons are no longer required for remote method calls in the Java 2 platform v1.2 and greater. This exception is thrown when a call is received that does not match the available skeleton.
public class	SkeletonNotFoundException Deprecated no replacement. Skeletons are no longer required for remote method calls in the Java 2 platform v1.2 and greater. A `SkeletonNotFoundException` is thrown if the `Skeleton` corresponding to the remote object being exported is not found.
public class	SocketSecurityException Deprecated This class is obsolete. Use `ExportException` instead. An obsolete subclass of `ExportException`.
public class	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.
public class	UnicastRemoteObject Used for exporting a remote object with JRMP and obtaining a stub that communicates to the remote object.
