Skeleton
InterfaceSkeleton is used solely by the implementation of
skeletons generated by the rmic compiler. A skeleton
for a remote object is a server-side entity that dispatches calls
to the actual remote object implementation.
Skeleton interface was deprecated as of the Java 2
SDK, Standard Edition, v 1.2. Every 1.1 (and version 1.1 compatible
skeletons generated in 1.2 using rmic -vcompat, the
default) skeleton class generated by the rmic stub
compiler implements this interface. Skeletons are no longer
required for remote method call dispatch as of Java 2 SDK, Standard
Edition, v1.2-compatible versions. To generate stubs that are
compatible with 1.2 or later versions, use the command
rmic with the option
-v1.2.
package java.rmi.server;
public interface Skeleton {
void dispatch(Remote obj, RemoteCall call, int opnum, long hash)
throws Exception;
Operation[] getOperations();
}
The dispatch
method unmarshals any arguments from the input stream obtained from
the call object, invokes the method (indicated by the
operation number opnum) on the actual remote object
implementation obj, and marshals the return value or
throws an exception if one occurs during the invocation.
The
getOperations method returns an array containing the
operation descriptors for the remote object's methods.
