java.rmi.server
Interface RMIClientSocketFactory
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- RMISocketFactory, SslRMIClientSocketFactory
public interface RMIClientSocketFactory
An RMIClientSocketFactory instance is used by the RMI runtime
in order to obtain client sockets for RMI calls. A remote object can be
associated with an RMIClientSocketFactory when it is
created/exported via the constructors or exportObject methods
of java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject and
java.rmi.activation.Activatable .
An RMIClientSocketFactory instance associated with a remote
object will be downloaded to clients when the remote object's reference is
transmitted in an RMI call. This RMIClientSocketFactory will
be used to create connections to the remote object for remote method calls.
An RMIClientSocketFactory instance can also be associated
with a remote object registry so that clients can use custom socket
communication with a remote object registry.
An implementation of this interface should be serializable and
should implement Object.equals(java.lang.Object) to return true when
passed an instance that represents the same (functionally equivalent)
client socket factory, and false otherwise (and it should also
implement Object.hashCode() consistently with its
Object.equals implementation).
