public abstract class RemoteServer
extends RemoteObject

The RemoteServer class is the common superclass to server implementations and provides the framework to support a wide range of remote reference semantics. Specifically, the functions needed to create and export remote objects (i.e. to make them remotely available) are provided abstractly by RemoteServer and concretely by its subclass(es).

RemoteServer

protected RemoteServer()

Constructs a RemoteServer.

RemoteServer

protected RemoteServer(RemoteRef ref)

Constructs a RemoteServer with the given reference type.

Parameters:

ref - the remote reference

getClientHost

public static String getClientHost()
                            throws ServerNotActiveException

Returns a string representation of the client host for the remote method invocation being processed in the current thread.

Returns:

a string representation of the client host

Throws:

ServerNotActiveException - if no remote method invocation is being processed in the current thread

getLog

public static PrintStream getLog()

Returns stream for the RMI call log.

Returns:

the call log

setLog

public static void setLog(OutputStream out)

Log RMI calls to the output stream out. If out is null, call logging is turned off.

If there is a security manager, its checkPermission method will be invoked with a java.util.logging.LoggingPermission("control") permission; this could result in a SecurityException.

Parameters:

out - the output stream to which RMI calls should be logged
