Name

rmic

Synopsis

    rmic [options]classes

Remote Method Invocation compiler for Java. rmic takes the fully package-qualified class names and generates skeleton and stub class files to provide remote method invocation. The classes must have previously been successfully compiled with java.

For a method WhizImpl in class whiz, rmic creates two files, WhizImpl_Skel.class and WhizImpl_Stub.class. The “skeleton” file implements the server side of the RMI; the “stub” file implements the client side.
