Imports
java.io.IOException, java.rmi.Remote, .RemoteException

Method Detail

getVersionback to summary
public String getVersion() throws RemoteException

The version of the RMI Connector Protocol understood by this connector server. This is a string with the following format:

protocol-version implementation-name

The protocol-version is a series of two or more non-negative integers separated by periods (.). An implementation of the version described by this documentation must use the string 1.0 here.

After the protocol version there must be a space, followed by the implementation name. The format of the implementation name is unspecified. It is recommended that it include an implementation version number. An implementation can use an empty string as its implementation name, for example for security reasons.

Returns:String

a string with the format described here.

Exceptions
RemoteException:
if there is a communication exception during the remote method call.
newClientback to summary
public RMIConnection newClient(Object credentials) throws IOException

Makes a new connection through this RMI connector. Each remote client calls this method to obtain a new RMI object representing its connection.

Parameters
credentials:Object

this object specifies the user-defined credentials to be passed in to the server in order to authenticate the user before creating the RMIConnection. Can be null.

Returns:RMIConnection

the newly-created connection object.

Exceptions
IOException:
if the new client object cannot be created or exported, or if there is a communication exception during the remote method call.
SecurityException:
if the given credentials do not allow the server to authenticate the caller successfully.
