e188. Defining and Exporting a Remote Object

1. Define the remote interface.
    import java.rmi.*;
    
    public interface RObject extends Remote {
        void aMethod() throws RemoteException;
    }
2. Define the remote object implementation.
    import java.rmi.*;
    import java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject;
    
    public class RObjectImpl extends UnicastRemoteObject implements RObject {
        public RObjectImpl() throws RemoteException {
            super();
        }
        // All remote methods must throw RemoteException
        public void aMethod() throws RemoteException {
        }
    }
3. Compile the remote object implementation.
    > javac RObject.java RObjectImpl.java
4. Generate the skeletons and stubs.
    > rmic RObjectImpl

5. Create an instance of the remote object and bind it to the RMI registry.
    try {
        RObject robj = new RObjectImpl();
        Naming.rebind("//localhost/RObjectServer", robj);
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
    } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
    } catch (RemoteException e) {
    }
