Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if unable to export the remote object.

Metadata

public Metadata()
         throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if unable to export the remote object.

Metadata

                   java.lang.Class theClass)
            throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Construct a new Metadata object with Object o. Figure out what kind of repository it came from to set the the repository flag.

Use this constructor if you want to determine RMI socket factories using the subclass's class instead of this object's class. Use Metadata(Object) if you want to employ RMI socket factories based on this class instead of the subclass's class.

Parameters:

o - The object used to initialize this object.

theClass - The subclass's class which will be used to determine appropriate RMI socket factories.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if unable to export a remote object.

Metadata

public Metadata(java.lang.Object o)
         throws java.rmi.RemoteException
