| /** |
| * An <code>RMIServerSocketFactory</code> instance is used by the RMI runtime |
| * in order to obtain server sockets for RMI calls. A remote object can be |
| * associated with an <code>RMIServerSocketFactory</code> when it is |
| * created/exported via the constructors or <code>exportObject</code> methods |
| * of <code>java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject</code> and |
| * <code>java.rmi.activation.Activatable</code> . |
| * |
| * <p>An <code>RMIServerSocketFactory</code> instance associated with a remote |
| * object is used to obtain the <code>ServerSocket</code> used to accept |
| * incoming calls from clients. |
| * |
| * <p>An <code>RMIServerSocketFactory</code> instance can also be associated |
| * with a remote object registry so that clients can use custom socket |
| * communication with a remote object registry. |
| * |
| * <p>An implementation of this interface |
| * should implement {@link Object#equals} to return <code>true</code> when |
| * passed an instance that represents the same (functionally equivalent) |
| * server socket factory, and <code>false</code> otherwise (and it should also |
| * implement {@link Object#hashCode} consistently with its |
| * <code>Object.equals</code> implementation). |
