/**
 * Used for exporting a remote object with JRMP and obtaining a stub
 * that communicates to the remote object. Stubs are either generated
 * at runtime using dynamic proxy objects, or they are generated statically
 * at build time, typically using the {@code rmic} tool.
 *
 * <p><strong>Deprecated: Static Stubs.</strong> <em>Support for statically
 * generated stubs is deprecated. This includes the API in this class that
 * requires the use of static stubs, as well as the runtime support for
 * loading static stubs.  Generating stubs dynamically is preferred, using one
 * of the five non-deprecated ways of exporting objects as listed below. Do
 * not run {@code rmic} to generate static stub classes. It is unnecessary, and
 * it is also deprecated.</em>
 *
 * <p>There are six ways to export remote objects:
 *
 * <ol>
 *
 * <li>Subclassing {@code UnicastRemoteObject} and calling the
 * {@link #UnicastRemoteObject()} constructor.
 *
 * <li>Subclassing {@code UnicastRemoteObject} and calling the
 * {@link #UnicastRemoteObject(int) UnicastRemoteObject(port)} constructor.
 *
 * <li>Subclassing {@code UnicastRemoteObject} and calling the
 * {@link #UnicastRemoteObject(int, RMIClientSocketFactory, RMIServerSocketFactory)
 * UnicastRemoteObject(port, csf, ssf)} constructor.
 *
 * <li>Calling the
 * {@link #exportObject(Remote) exportObject(Remote)} method.
 * <strong>Deprecated.</strong>
 *
 * <li>Calling the
 * {@link #exportObject(Remote, int) exportObject(Remote, port)} method.
 *
 * <li>Calling the
 * {@link #exportObject(Remote, int, RMIClientSocketFactory, RMIServerSocketFactory)
 * exportObject(Remote, port, csf, ssf)} method.
 *
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>The fourth technique, {@link #exportObject(Remote)},
 * always uses statically generated stubs and is deprecated.
 *
 * <p>The other five techniques all use the following approach: if the
 * {@code java.rmi.server.ignoreStubClasses} property is {@code true}
 * (case insensitive) or if a static stub cannot be found, stubs are generated
 * dynamically using {@link java.lang.reflect.Proxy Proxy} objects. Otherwise,
 * static stubs are used.
 *
 * <p>The default value of the
 * {@code java.rmi.server.ignoreStubClasses} property is {@code false}.
 *
 * <p>Statically generated stubs are typically pregenerated from the
 * remote object's class using the {@code rmic} tool. A static stub is
 * loaded and an instance of that stub class is constructed as described
 * below.
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li>A "root class" is determined as follows: if the remote object's
 * class directly implements an interface that extends {@link Remote}, then
 * the remote object's class is the root class; otherwise, the root class is
 * the most derived superclass of the remote object's class that directly
 * implements an interface that extends {@code Remote}.
 *
 * <li>The name of the stub class to load is determined by concatenating
 * the binary name of the root class with the suffix {@code _Stub}.
 *
 * <li>The stub class is loaded by name using the class loader of the root
 * class. The stub class must extend {@link RemoteStub} and must have a
 * public constructor that has one parameter of type {@link RemoteRef}.
 *
 * <li>Finally, an instance of the stub class is constructed with a
 * {@link RemoteRef}.
 *
 * <li>If the appropriate stub class could not be found, or if the stub class
 * could not be loaded, or if a problem occurs creating the stub instance, a
 * {@link StubNotFoundException} is thrown.
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Stubs are dynamically generated by constructing an instance of
 * a {@link java.lang.reflect.Proxy Proxy} with the following characteristics:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li>The proxy's class is defined by the class loader of the remote
 * object's class.
 *
 * <li>The proxy implements all the remote interfaces implemented by the
 * remote object's class.
 *
 * <li>The proxy's invocation handler is a {@link
 * RemoteObjectInvocationHandler} instance constructed with a
 * {@link RemoteRef}.
 *
 * <li>If the proxy could not be created, a {@link StubNotFoundException}
 * will be thrown.
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * @implNote
 * Depending upon which constructor or static method is used for exporting an
 * object, {@link RMISocketFactory} may be used for creating sockets.
 * By default, server sockets created by {@link RMISocketFactory}
 * listen on all network interfaces. See the
 * {@link RMISocketFactory} class and the section
 * <a href="{@docRoot}/../platform/rmi/spec/rmi-server29.html">RMI Socket Factories</a>
 * in the
 * <a href="{@docRoot}/../platform/rmi/spec/rmiTOC.html">Java RMI Specification</a>.
