RemoteObjectprotected RemoteObject(RemoteRef newref) Creates a remote object, initialized with the specified remote reference.- Parameters:

Method Detail- 
getRefpublic RemoteRef getRef() Returns the remote reference for the remote object.Note: The object returned from this method may be an instance of an implementation-specific class. The RemoteObjectclass ensures serialization portability of its instances' remote references through the behavior of its customwriteObjectandreadObjectmethods. An instance ofRemoteRefshould not be serialized outside of itsRemoteObjectwrapper instance or the result may be unportable.- Returns:
- remote reference for the remote object
- Since:
- 1.2
 
 - 
toStubpublic static Remote toStub(Remote obj) throws NoSuchObjectException Returns the stub for the remote objectobjpassed as a parameter. This operation is only valid after the object has been exported.- Parameters:
- obj- the remote object whose stub is needed
- Returns:
- the stub for the remote object, obj.
- Throws:
- NoSuchObjectException- if the stub for the remote object could not be found.
- Since:
- 1.2
 
 - 
hashCodepublic int hashCode() Returns a hashcode for a remote object. Two remote object stubs that refer to the same remote object will have the same hash code (in order to support remote objects as keys in hash tables).
 - 
equalspublic boolean equals(Object obj) Compares two remote objects for equality. Returns a boolean that indicates whether this remote object is equivalent to the specified Object. This method is used when a remote object is stored in a hashtable. If the specified Object is not itself an instance of RemoteObject, then this method delegates by returning the result of invoking theequalsmethod of its parameter with this remote object as the argument.
