1. Explain Stubs and Skeletons with Example.

📆 Asked in Dec 2022, Dec 2023, Jun 2022, Jun 2023

Stub:
• The stub is a client-side proxy that represents the remote object.
• It forwards method calls from the client to the server-side object using the
network.
Skeleton:
• The skeleton was the server-side component that received the method calls and
invoked the appropriate method.
• It was used in Java 1.1, and removed in Java 1.2 onwards (now dynamic proxies
are used).
✅ Mini Code Structure:
java

// Interface
public interface Hello extends Remote {
String sayHello() throws RemoteException;
}

// Server
[Link]("rmi://localhost/Hello", new HelloImpl());

// Client
Hello stub = (Hello) [Link]("rmi://localhost/Hello");
[Link]([Link]());
Conclusion:
Stub and skeleton act like bridges in RMI communication. Today, only stubs are used
(skeleton is obsolete).
