WHAT is the usage of this method ??????

Hi all,
What exactly is the usage of
UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(Remote);
thanx in advance,
bye
ram..

You'd typically see this statement in two places: one, in the contructor of a class that implements a Remote service; or two, in the main() method of a class that starts a Remote service. Ex:

public class ServiceImpl implements Service
{
   public ServiceImpl throws RemoteException
   {
      super();
      UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(this);
   }
}

All this does is save the ServiceImpl class the hassle of extending UnicastRemoteObject, which has a constructor that does the same thing.
