Class RemoteClientRef

java.lang.Object
  uka.karmi.rmi.RemoteClientRef

Direct Known Subclasses:

SingleRemoteClientRef

public abstract class RemoteClientRef

extends java.lang.Object

Base class for remote Client references.

An implementation must implement the applicationCall methods. These methods are called by the stub object when the application wants to do a remote method call.

RemoteClientRef must implement equals() and hashCode(). The implementations must fit the RMI specification.

One more thing is very important when implementing RemoteClientRefs: If a stub (and its RemoteClientRef) is local the (now local) remote object which is controlled by the RemoteClientRef is NOT allowed to be garbage collected. This means that it is important that a local RemoteClientRef has a reference to the controlled RemoteServerRef(s). This reference must be transient.
