JDK1.5以前RMI调用是需要存根与代理的,1.2之后代理类好像看不到了.rmic只会生成存根类.
(1.2之前的JDK，我也没试过，我学习JAVA的时候，1.5就出来了)
开发RMI应用时,在进行bind对象时,会检测远程对象所对应的存根是否存在.这就是常发生的
*_stub.class找不到的问题. STUB用在客户端调用时,Rmi Registry为什么要检测他呢?
这是因为当客户端通过Naming.lookup获取这个远程对象时, Registry会把这个存根对象
或用于生成存根对象meta发给客户端,客户端通过这个存根对象或者通过meta生成存根对象.
进而进行运程对象的方法调用.
JDK1.5之后,有了新变化: Naming.lookup获取不再是这个存根对象,而是一个动态代理类.
这里只简单描述一下过程:
1. 获取的代理对象, 其InvocationHandler为RemoteObjectInvocationHandler:
public class RemoteObjectInvocationHandler extends RemoteObject implements InvocationHandler
2. RemoteObjectInvocationHandler的方法为:
public Object invoke(Object proxy, Method method, Object[] args)
throws Throwable
{
if (method.getDeclaringClass() == Object.class) {
return invokeObjectMethod(proxy, method, args);
} else {
return invokeRemoteMethod(proxy, method, args);
}
}
这里把调用分为两部分:invokeObjectMethod和invokeRemoteMethod.我们主要看
invokeRemoteMethod:
private Object invokeRemoteMethod(Object proxy,
Method method,
Object[] args)
throws Exception
{
try {
if (!(proxy instanceof Remote)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"proxy not Remote instance");
}
return ref.invoke((Remote) proxy, method, args,
getMethodHash(method));
} catch (Exception e) {
if (!(e instanceof RuntimeException)) {
Class cl = proxy.getClass();
try {
method = cl.getMethod(method.getName(),
method.getParameterTypes());
} catch (NoSuchMethodException nsme) {
throw (IllegalArgumentException)
new IllegalArgumentException().initCause(nsme);
}
Class thrownType = e.getClass();
for (Class declaredType : method.getExceptionTypes()) {
if (declaredType.isAssignableFrom(thrownType)) {
throw e;
}
}
e = new UnexpectedException("unexpected exception", e);
}
throw e;
}
}
主要通过ref.invoke来进行调用,若打开rmic生成的存根类，你会发现调用方法也是一样的。
这个动态代理类，其实就是存根的替代品。这里ref的类为sun/rmi/server/UnicastRef.java
签名为:public class UnicastRef implements RemoteRef, 其invoke方法实现如下:
public Object invoke(Remote obj,
Method method,
Object[] params,
long opnum)
throws Exception
{
if (clientRefLog.isLoggable(Log.VERBOSE)) {
clientRefLog.log(Log.VERBOSE, "method: " + method);
}
if (clientCallLog.isLoggable(Log.VERBOSE)) {
logClientCall(obj, method);
}
Connection conn = ref.getChannel().newConnection();
RemoteCall call = null;
boolean reuse = true;
/* If the call connection is "reused" early, remember not to
* reuse again.
*/
boolean alreadyFreed = false;
try {
if (clientRefLog.isLoggable(Log.VERBOSE)) {
clientRefLog.log(Log.VERBOSE, "opnum = " + opnum);
}
// create call context
call = new StreamRemoteCall(conn, ref.getObjID(), -1, opnum);
// marshal parameters
try {
ObjectOutput out = call.getOutputStream();
marshalCustomCallData(out);
Class[] types = method.getParameterTypes();
for (int i = 0; i < types.length; i++) {
marshalValue(types[i], params[i], out);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
clientRefLog.log(Log.BRIEF,
"IOException marshalling arguments: ", e);
throw new MarshalException("error marshalling arguments", e);
}
// unmarshal return
call.executeCall();
try {
Class rtype = method.getReturnType();
if (rtype == void.class)
return null;
ObjectInput in = call.getInputStream();
/* StreamRemoteCall.done() does not actually make use
* of conn, therefore it is safe to reuse this
* connection before the dirty call is sent for
* registered refs.
*/
Object returnValue = unmarshalValue(rtype, in);
/* we are freeing the connection now, do not free
* again or reuse.
*/
alreadyFreed = true;
/* if we got to this point, reuse must have been true. */
clientRefLog.log(Log.BRIEF, "free connection (reuse = true)");
/* Free the call's connection early. */
ref.getChannel().free(conn, true);
return returnValue;
} catch (IOException e) {
clientRefLog.log(Log.BRIEF,
"IOException unmarshalling return: ", e);
throw new UnmarshalException("error unmarshalling return", e);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
clientRefLog.log(Log.BRIEF,
"ClassNotFoundException unmarshalling return: ", e);
throw new UnmarshalException("error unmarshalling return", e);
} finally {
try {
call.done();
} catch (IOException e) {
/* WARNING: If the conn has been reused early,
* then it is too late to recover from thrown
* IOExceptions caught here. This code is relying
* on StreamRemoteCall.done() not actually
* throwing IOExceptions.
*/
reuse = false;
}
}
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
/*
* Need to distinguish between client (generated by the
* invoke method itself) and server RuntimeExceptions.
* Client side RuntimeExceptions are likely to have
* corrupted the call connection and those from the server
* are not likely to have done so. If the exception came

*/
if ((call == null) ||
(((StreamRemoteCall) call).getServerException() != e))
{
reuse = false;
}
throw e;
} catch (RemoteException e) {
/*
* Some failure during call; assume connection cannot
* be reused. Must assume failure even if ServerException
* or ServerError occurs since these failures can happen
* during parameter deserialization which would leave
* the connection in a corrupted state.
*/
reuse = false;
throw e;
} catch (Error e) {
/* If errors occurred, the connection is most likely not
* reusable.
*/
reuse = false;
throw e;
} finally {
/* alreadyFreed ensures that we do not log a reuse that
* may have already happened.
*/
if (!alreadyFreed) {
if (clientRefLog.isLoggable(Log.BRIEF)) {
clientRefLog.log(Log.BRIEF, "free connection (reuse = " +
reuse + ")");
}

}
}
我们大致看出,在这里完成Socket通信.细节我就不描述了.知道是这么回事就成了。
