# Package java.rmi.server

Provides classes and interfaces for supporting the server side of RMI.

See: Description

- 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 | A ServerRef represents the server-side handle for a remote object implementation.
  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 | The `RemoteStub` class is the common superclass to client stubs and provides the framework to support a wide range of remote reference semantics.
  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 | An obsolete subclass of `ExportException`.

## Package java.rmi.server Description

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.
