## java.rmi.server
Interface RMIServerSocketFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:
  RMISocketFactory

public interface RMIServerSocketFactory

An `RMIServerSocketFactory` instance is used by the RMI runtime in order to obtain server sockets for RMI calls. A remote object can be associated with an `RMIServerSocketFactory` when it is created/exported via the constructors or `exportObject` methods of `java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject` and `java.rmi.activation.Activatable` .

An `RMIServerSocketFactory` instance associated with a remote object is used to obtain the `ServerSocket` used to accept incoming calls from clients.

An `RMIServerSocketFactory` instance can also be associated with a remote object registry so that clients can use custom socket communication with a remote object registry.

An implementation of this interface should implement `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)` to return `true` when passed an instance that represents the same (functionally equivalent) server socket factory, and `false` otherwise (and it should also implement `Object.hashCode()` consistently with its `Object.equals` implementation).

  1.2
