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