publicstatic void connect (Remote target, Remote source) throws RemoteException

Makes a Remote object ready for remote communication.

Makes a Remote object ready for remote communication. This normally
happens implicitly when the object is sent or received as an argument
on a remote method call, but in some circumstances it is useful to
perform this action by making an explicit call. See the
Stub#connect method for more information.
Parameters:
- target - the object to connect.
- source - a previously connected object.
Throws:
- RemoteException - if source is not connected or if target is already connected to a different ORB than source.

publicstatic void exportObject (Remote obj) throws RemoteException

Makes a server object ready to receive remote calls.

publicstatic void unexportObject (Remote obj) throws NoSuchObjectException
