  26 /**
  27  * Provides classes and interfaces for supporting the server
  28  * side of RMI.  A group of classes are used by the stubs and skeletons
  29  * generated by the rmic stub compiler.  Another group of classes
  30  * implements the RMI Transport protocol and HTTP tunneling.
  31  *
  32  * <p><strong>Deprecated: HTTP Tunneling.</strong> <em>The HTTP tunneling
  33  * mechanism has been deprecated. See {@link java.rmi.server.RMISocketFactory} for
  34  * further information.</em>
  35  *
  36  * <p><strong>Deprecated: Skeletons and Static Stubs.</strong>
  37  *
  38  * <em>Skeletons and statically generated stubs are deprecated.  This
  39  * includes the APIs in this package that require the use of skeletons
  40  * or static stubs, the runtime support for them, and the use of the
  41  * {@code rmic} stub compiler to generate them.  Support for skeletons
  42  * and static stubs may be removed in a future release of the
  43  * platform. Skeletons are unnecessary, as server-side method dispatching
  44  * is handled directly by the RMI runtime. Statically generated stubs are
  45  * unnecessary, as stubs are generated dynamically using {@link
  46  * java.lang.reflect.Proxy Proxy} objects. See {@link
  47  * java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject UnicastRemoteObject} for
  48  * information about dynamic stub generation. Generation of skeletons and
  49  * static stubs was typically performed as part of an application's build
  50  * process by calling the {@code rmic} tool. This is unnecessary, and
  51  * calls to {@code rmic} can simply be omitted.</em>
