Class MarshalledObject

Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public final class MarshalledObject
extends Object
implements Serializable
A MarshalledObject consists of a serialized object which is marshalled according to the RMI specification.

An object passed to the constructor is serialized and tagged with the needed URL to retrieve its class definition for remote usage. If the object is a remote reference its stub is serialized instead. The instance of this marshalled object can be later retrieved by its get() method.
