A.1 Exceptions During Remote Object Export

When a remote object class is created that extends UnicastRemoteObject, the object is exported, meaning it can receive calls from external Java virtual machines and can be passed in an RMI call as either a parameter or return value. An object can either be exported on an anonymous port or on a specified port. For objects not extended from UnicastRemoteObject, the java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject method is used to explicitly export the object.
