public interface RMIServer extends Remote
RMI object used to establish connections to an RMI connector. There is one Remote object implementing this interface for each RMI connector.
User code does not usually refer to this interface. It is specified as part of the public API so that different implementations of that API will interoperate.
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
String |
getVersion()
The version of the RMI Connector Protocol understood by this
connector server.
|
RMIConnection |
newClient(Object credentials)
Makes a new connection through this RMI connector.
|
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.
RemoteException - if there is a communication
exception during the remote method call.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.
credentials - 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.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. Submit a bug or feature
