java.rmi (Java Platform SE 6)

This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences. Please send any questions or feedback to bam@cs.cmu.edu.

Package java.rmi

Interface Summary
Remote	The `Remote` interface serves to identify interfaces whose methods may be invoked from a non-local virtual machine.

Interface Summary

Remote

The Remote interface serves to identify interfaces whose methods may be invoked from a non-local virtual machine.

Class Summary
MarshalledObject	A `MarshalledObject` contains a byte stream with the serialized representation of an object given to its constructor.
Naming	The `Naming` class provides methods for storing and obtaining references to remote objects in a remote object registry.
RMISecurityManager	A subclass of java.lang.SecurityManager used by RMI applications that use downloaded code.

Class Summary

MarshalledObject

A MarshalledObject contains a byte stream with the serialized representation of an object given to its constructor.

Naming

The Naming class provides methods for storing and obtaining references to remote objects in a remote object registry.

RMISecurityManager

A subclass of java.lang.SecurityManager used by RMI applications that use downloaded code.

Exception Summary
AccessException	An `AccessException` is thrown by certain methods of the `java.rmi.Naming` class (specifically `bind`, `rebind`, and `unbind`) and methods of the `java.rmi.activation.ActivationSystem` interface to indicate that the caller does not have permission to perform the action requested by the method call.
AlreadyBoundException	An `AlreadyBoundException` is thrown if an attempt is made to bind an object in the registry to a name that already has an associated binding.
ConnectException	A `ConnectException` is thrown if a connection is refused to the remote host for a remote method call.
ConnectIOException	A `ConnectIOException` is thrown if an `IOException` occurs while making a connection to the remote host for a remote method call.
MarshalException	A `MarshalException` is thrown if a `java.io.IOException` occurs while marshalling the remote call header, arguments or return value for a remote method call.
NoSuchObjectException	A `NoSuchObjectException` is thrown if an attempt is made to invoke a method on an object that no longer exists in the remote virtual machine.
NotBoundException	A `NotBoundException` is thrown if an attempt is made to lookup or unbind in the registry a name that has no associated binding.
RemoteException	A `RemoteException` is the common superclass for a number of communication-related exceptions that may occur during the execution of a remote method call.
RMISecurityException	An `RMISecurityException` signals that a security exception has occurred during the execution of one of `java.rmi.RMISecurityManager`'s methods.
ServerError	A `ServerError` is thrown as a result of a remote method invocation when an `Error` is thrown while processing the invocation on the server, either while unmarshalling the arguments, executing the remote method itself, or marshalling the return value.
ServerException	A `ServerException` is thrown as a result of a remote method invocation when a `RemoteException` is thrown while processing the invocation on the server, either while unmarshalling the arguments or executing the remote method itself.
ServerRuntimeException	From a server executing on JDK 1.1, a `ServerRuntimeException` is thrown as a result of a remote method invocation when a `RuntimeException` is thrown while processing the invocation on the server, either while unmarshalling the arguments, executing the remote method itself, or marshalling the return value.
StubNotFoundException	A `StubNotFoundException` is thrown if a valid stub class could not be found for a remote object when it is exported.
UnexpectedException	An `UnexpectedException` is thrown if the client of a remote method call receives, as a result of the call, a checked exception that is not among the checked exception types declared in the `throws` clause of the method in the remote interface.
UnknownHostException	An `UnknownHostException` is thrown if a `java.net.UnknownHostException` occurs while creating a connection to the remote host for a remote method call.
UnmarshalException	An `UnmarshalException` can be thrown while unmarshalling the parameters or results of a remote method call if any of the following conditions occur: if an exception occurs while unmarshalling the call header if the protocol for the return value is invalid if a `java.io.IOException` occurs unmarshalling parameters (on the server side) or the return value (on the client side).

Exception Summary

AccessException

An AccessException is thrown by certain methods of the java.rmi.Naming class (specifically bind, rebind, and unbind) and methods of the java.rmi.activation.ActivationSystem interface to indicate that the caller does not have permission to perform the action requested by the method call.

AlreadyBoundException

An AlreadyBoundException is thrown if an attempt is made to bind an object in the registry to a name that already has an associated binding.

ConnectException

A ConnectException is thrown if a connection is refused to the remote host for a remote method call.

ConnectIOException

A ConnectIOException is thrown if an IOException occurs while making a connection to the remote host for a remote method call.

MarshalException

A MarshalException is thrown if a java.io.IOException occurs while marshalling the remote call header, arguments or return value for a remote method call.

NoSuchObjectException

A NoSuchObjectException is thrown if an attempt is made to invoke a method on an object that no longer exists in the remote virtual machine.

NotBoundException

A NotBoundException is thrown if an attempt is made to lookup or unbind in the registry a name that has no associated binding.

RemoteException

A RemoteException is the common superclass for a number of communication-related exceptions that may occur during the execution of a remote method call.

RMISecurityException

An RMISecurityException signals that a security exception has occurred during the execution of one of java.rmi.RMISecurityManager's methods.

ServerError

A ServerError is thrown as a result of a remote method invocation when an Error is thrown while processing the invocation on the server, either while unmarshalling the arguments, executing the remote method itself, or marshalling the return value.

ServerException

A ServerException is thrown as a result of a remote method invocation when a RemoteException is thrown while processing the invocation on the server, either while unmarshalling the arguments or executing the remote method itself.

ServerRuntimeException

From a server executing on JDK 1.1, a ServerRuntimeException is thrown as a result of a remote method invocation when a RuntimeException is thrown while processing the invocation on the server, either while unmarshalling the arguments, executing the remote method itself, or marshalling the return value.

StubNotFoundException

A StubNotFoundException is thrown if a valid stub class could not be found for a remote object when it is exported.

UnexpectedException

An UnexpectedException is thrown if the client of a remote method call receives, as a result of the call, a checked exception that is not among the checked exception types declared in the throws clause of the method in the remote interface.

UnknownHostException

An UnknownHostException is thrown if a java.net.UnknownHostException occurs while creating a connection to the remote host for a remote method call.

UnmarshalException

An UnmarshalException can be thrown while unmarshalling the parameters or results of a remote method call if any of the following conditions occur: if an exception occurs while unmarshalling the call header if the protocol for the return value is invalid if a java.io.IOException occurs unmarshalling parameters (on the server side) or the return value (on the client side).
