Hello...
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/rmi/spec/rmi-arch2.html
Could someone please explain what stubs and skeletons are and what exactly they are used for in simple language.
Thanks!

It's not an SCWCD related question. I send you to Distributed Java, where RMI is discussed.

I can't do much better than the reference that you provided. That seemed to explain stubs and skeletons rather well.
Do you have some specific points that you don't understand?

Thanks!
Would you just try to explain them in layman's term please?
Thanks again.

I think you mean "layman's terms".
A stub is an object that goes between the client code and the network, to give the client code the illusion that it is working with a local object.
A skeleton does a vaguely similar job between server object implementation code and the network.
Beyond that, I can't do a better general explanation than the one in the reference. If you were to indicate what specific aspects of that are causing you problems, I might be able to help.
Note, though, that distributed systems are not trivial to understand. You will have to put some work in.
