Appendix D. RMI Quick Reference
This appendix is a quick reference guide to RMI, the remote object package included in JDK 1.1. Since there are many examples in the book that use RMI, we felt it would be useful for you to have this reference right here at your fingertips.
The
RMI API is contained in the java.rmi
package,
which includes three major sub-packages:
java.rmi.dgc
,
java.rmi.registry
, and
java.rmi.server
. We include all but the
java.rmi.dgc
package in this reference; that
package is really internal to the RMI implementation, having to do
with distributed garbage collection, and the average reader
won’t have any reason to use the package directly.
This reference is broken down into sections by packages. First we
look at the classes in the base java.rmi
package, then java.rmi.registry
, and, finally,
java.rmi.server
. Within each package, the
classes are listed alphabetically.
